Rita A. Moura has an academic degree in Biology, with specialization in Microbiology and Genetics, concluded at Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, Portugal, in 2005. She completed her PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences, specialization in Immunology, at Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon, Portugal, in 2011. Since 2012 she is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Prof. João Eurico Fonseca Lab (Rheumatology Research Unit), Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes (IMM), Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon, Portugal and also in collaboration with the group of Prof. Jonathan C. W. Edwards and Dr. Geraldine Cambridge at the Centre for Rheumatology Research, University College London, United Kingdom (UK). She has also worked as a visiting Post-Doctoral research fellow in the group of Prof. Costantino Pitzalis at the Centre for Experimental Medicine and Rheumatology, William Harvey Research Institute, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, UK. Dr. Rita A. Moura main scientific areas of research are immunology and the study of autoimmune diseases. Her work has been mainly focused on the study of immune system cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) pathogenesis. Dr. Moura has a strong background in immunology and B cell research in particular. Dr. Moura has made important scientific contributions that reinforced for the first time the relevance of B cells in RA physiopathology since very early disease onset and also during clinical relapse after B cell depletion therapy. Dr. Rita A. Moura has been responsible for the supervision of several undergraduate and graduate students, including 8 Master theses, and she is currently supervising 2 PhD Students' theses at IMM, Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon. Furthermore, she has been invited to teaching classes at Faculty of Medicine, Universities of Algarve and Lisbon and to national and international academic jury examinations of Licentiate, Master and PhD degrees. Dr. Rita A. Moura has authored 16 publications (1 as senior author; 10 as first-author; 5 as co-author) in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, has participated in several international and national scientific meetings with oral (invited and selected) and poster communications and is an invited reviewer and/ or is associated to the editorial board of several national and international scientific journals.
