Joana V. Ribeiro (26y) is a PhD student (SFRH/BD/147202/2019) at the Protein Misfolding and Amyloids in Biomedicine laboratory (http://folding.fc.ul.pt/) at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon and affiliated to BioISI Biosystems & Integrative Sciences Institute. Has a BSc in Biochemistry (2016) and a MSc in Medical Biochemistry (2018) from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. Joana started her scientific activities at the Protein Misfolding and Amyloids in Biomedicine laboratory (2018) on protein misfolding in neurometabolic disorders, such as Glutaric Aciduria Type I, and focused on how the effects of disease-causing mutations lead to global mitochondrial dysfunction in the cell. Currently, her interest is related to understanding mitochondria regulation by non-enzymatic posttranslational modifications and their impact in metabolic disorders. These projects allowed her to be the first author of 2 published peer-reviewed international papers (2020), as well as first author of 10 posters and 3 oral communications presented in 10 national and international events. Has been awarded with an honorable mention for best poster in 1 national meeting, as well as 4 travel and registration awards for international meetings.
