Isabel Duarte is a Junior Researcher at Universidade do Algarve affiliated with CINTESIS (Center for Health Technology and Services Research). She has published over 25 articles in international journals, and developed several R packages with software tools for the biomedical community, transcriptomics cancer datasets, and participated in the design and development of 2 online databases with stem-cell transcriptomics analyses. She also developed interactive R tutorials for university students, and for science outreach for high-schoolers. She uses Bioinformatics/Computational Biology as a way of answering biologically relevant questions. She is passionate about Open Science and is always keen on establishing new collaborations. *** EDUCATION *** She holds a PhD in Medical Sciences by the Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen (The Netherlands); a Masters in Oncology by ICBAS - Universidade do Porto (Portugal); and a Science degree in Applied Biology by Universidade do Minho Braga (Portugal). *** RESEARCH INTERESTS *** Her research interests are focused on understanding how gene expression profiles translate into robust genetic modules that explain the phenotypic plasticity observed in healthy and diseased cells, particularly cancer. Such genetic modules hold the promise to be used as markers for precision medicine (diagnostic/prognostic classifiers of cellular phenotypic potential). *** PREVIOUS RESEARCH *** She has used OMICs datasets to study breast cancer, genetic regulation in early vertebrate embryo development, in stem cell differentiation, and in mitochondrial evolution. *** CURRENT RESEARCH *** She is starting her independent research line studying cancer causality using Structural Causal Models. She has been awarded a 6 year Junior Researcher grant, within FCT's CEEC 2020 call, to pursue this research. *** TEACHING *** She teaches Computational Biology at the Universidade do Algarve, and she organizes yearly courses on R programming.
