In recent years, my primary research focus has been neuroimmunology, specifically exploring the intricate interplay between the immune system, neuropsychiatric disorders, and cognitive function. To gain deeper insights into the etiology of psychiatric conditions, immune disorders, and cognitive function, I am actively engaged in research projects investigating factors influencing fetal and infant development, including iodine supplementation and microbiome alterations. Utilizing human samples and animal models, I aim to contribute to our understanding of these complex relationships. Currently, I am doing my General Medicine internship (Unidade Local de Saúde de Coimbra). Over the past four years, I have served as a Junior Researcher at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute, University of Minho. My academic background includes a degree in Biochemistry, a Master's in Clinical Immunology, a PhD in Health Sciences, and an Integrated Master's in Medicine. Throughout my research journey, I have actively participated in 15 projects, resulting in 41 publications, where I held the first authorship in 9. These publications collectively boast a cumulative impact factor of 196, with 1052 citations and an H-index 16 (update in January 2024 on Web of Science).
