Marta Simões is a superior laboratory technician, since March 2001, at Laboratory of Mitochondrial BioMedicine and Theranostics (LBioMiT), Center for Neurosciences and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra, which is recognized as an entity certified since 2011 by NP EN ISO 9001: 2008, with registration number 2011 / CEP.3971 (entity certifying APCER). She performs biochemical and functional genomic analyzes, integrated int the diagnostic tests of mitochondrial cytopathies. Simões M. integrates the Group studies of Coenzyme Q10 deficits since June 2010. She has a degree in Biochemistry and a PostGraduate in Biomedicine, both at the University of Coimbra (UC). She is a Ph.D. student of the Doctoral Program in Biosciences, at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology, UC. Her Ph.D. project will be focused in mitochondrial cytopathies' cell metabolism adaptations and stress responses involvement. She is co-author of 18 publications in peer-reviewed journals and 37 papers in conference proceedings, and, 140 scientific communications, 97 of which are posters and 43 are oral presentations. In the last few years, she has also participated in 2 research projects approved by the Foundation for Science and Technology and other 2 projects.
