Margarida Ferreira Lorigo is a PhD student (FCT, DOI: 10.54499/2020.06616.BD) in Biomedicine at the Health Sciences Research Center (CICS-UBI) at the University of Beira Interior (UBI) in collaboration with the Department of Biology & CESAM at the University of Aveiro. She obtained his BSc in Biomedical Sciences (score: 14 out of 20; 2015) and MSc in Biochemistry (score: 17 out of 20; 2017) from UBI. Her MSc dissertation focused on the effects of the emerging contaminant and endocrine disruptor octylmethoxycinnamate (OMC, a UV-B filter) on cardiovascular health. Since then, she started working with human umbilical arteries to uncover how emerging contaminants impair vascular homeostasis. In 2019, she was a PhD Student Fellow (10 months) with a grant from UBI-Santander Totta (BID/FCS/2018), during which she extended her endocrine disruption studies to the endothelial level working with rat aorta. Since 2020, she has been developing her PhD with an Individual Scholarship (FCT, DOI: 10.54499/2020.06616.BD) under the supervision of E. Cairrão (CICS-UBI), L. Breitenfeld (CICS-UBI) and C. Quintaneiro (CESAM/UA) (expected completion date, 2024). Her doctoral thesis (2018-present) continues the work she began during her MSc and focuses on disentangling the toxic mode of action of OMC linked to the development of thyroid diseases in humans. During this period, she has been motivated by in silico approaches (molecular docking) to understand the molecular initiating events that lead to adverse outcomes. More recently, she learned how to work with zebrafish developing embryos to evaluate the endocrine effects of OMC. So far, Margarida Lorigo has published 26 articles in ISI journals (h-index 12; 356 citations ex. self-cit., Scopus), 2 book chapters, and 4 encyclopedia entries. Furthermore, she has participated in 19 presentations (oral/poster) in international/national meetings and has received national/international awards, including co-authoring Best Flash Communication (2023), 2 Best Poster Presentations (2022, 2021), and Honorable Mention (2012). She is an ad hoc reviewer in 9 indexed journals and collaborated in co-supervision of 4 MSc dissertations and tutoring 11 BSc projects. She participated as a team member in a UBI Project (2020) on biophysics and in a National Project (2021) in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. Furthermore, she has enrolled in several training courses, e.g., genomic medicine (2012), sun protection (2022), laboratory animal science (2023), chromatography (2024) and zebrafish model (2024). In addition to her training as a researcher, she is a monitor in the Department of Medical Sciences, collaborating in the lectures on anatomy, physiology, and endocrinology subjects for BSc/MSc degrees at UBI.
