Guilherme G. Moreira is a PhD student at the Protein Misfolding and Amyloids in Biomedicine (PMAB) group at the Faculdade de Ciências of the Universidade de Lisboa, affiliated with the BioISI - Biosystems & Integrative Sciences Institute. Born in 1995, he holds a BSc in Biochemistry (2016) and an MSc in Medical Biochemistry (2018), both from the Universidade de Lisboa. In 2021, he commenced his PhD studies under the PMAB GomesLab with a prestigious FCT PhD Studentship, focusing on the project "The calcium-binding protein S100B as a novel chaperone preventing Tau aggregation in Alzheimer's disease." Guilherme is the first author of 3 peer-reviewed international papers (2019, 2021, 2023), co-author of one book chapter (2020), and 2 additional peer-reviewed international papers (2021, 2022). He has presented +30 posters and delivered 8 oral communications at national and international scientific conferences. His contributions have been recognized with 7 travel, accommodation, and registration awards for international meetings and 2 best poster prizes at scientific congresses. Additionally, he has received 2 short-term mobility grants to conduct collaborative research in the scope of his PhD studies.
