Investigadora principal do grupo SPRED - Sexual Plant Reproduction and Development - que integra, atualmente, o Laboratório Associado para a Química Verde, LAQV Requimte. A sua área de investigação centra-se na Biologia da Reprodução em Plantas. O seu trabalho de investigação tem atraído uma elevada componente de financiamento para a instituição e para a sua equipa de investigação, proveniente não só de fontes de apoio nacionais (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, FCT) como internacionais (Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, COST Actions, projetos de cooperação bilateral). Os benefícios dos projetos financiados ao longo da sua carreira têm sido não só em prol da candidata, do seu grupo de investigação e da Instituição de acolhimento que é a FCUP, mas também se estendem aos alunos desta instituição, mais precisamente do Departamento de Biologia. Todo este trabalho desenvolvido e estabelecido ao longo de mais de uma década, sustentam passos estáveis para o futuro, com uma estratégia suportada por uma equipa jovem, motivada e dinâmica.
