Margarida Saraiva obtained a degree in Biochemistry (Hons) in 1997, by Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto, Portugal. After 4 years (1999-2002) of research on Poxvirus Immune Evasion, in Antonio Alcami's lab, Margarida Saraiva obtained a PhD in Pathology awarded by the University of Cambridge, UK, and moved to Anne O'Garra's lab, at the MRC-National Institute for Medical Research (London). During her post-doc, Margarida Saraiva investigated the molecular mechanisms that regulate the expression of Interleukin-10 by immune cells. In 2007, Margarida Saraiva returned to Portugal and joined the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS) at Universidade do Minho, as a Ciência 2007 fellow, to study several cellular and molecular mechanisms in place during the innate immune response to mycobacteria. From June 2015, Margarida Saraiva became a group leader at IBMC-Porto to study the molecular mechanisms underlying immune regulation using deregulated myelopoiesis and tuberculosis as disease models. Margarida Saraiva has published over 70 articles in peer-reviewed journals, gathering over 5200 citations; successfully supervised several MSc, PhD and Post-doctoral fellows; has been PI in several competitive funded grants; has been invited speaker in various international conferences and institutes; and has been awarded several national and international prizes for her research. Margarida Saraiva served as President of the Portuguese Society for Immunology between 2018-2021.
