Tiago Gil Oliveira was a student in the joint MD/PhD program of the University of Minho, Portugal and Columbia University, NYC, USA. He performed his PhD studies at Columbia University, between 2007 and 2010, under the supervision of Prof. Gilbert Di Paolo and co-supervision by Prof. Nuno Sousa, and his MD studies at University of Minho. While studying the role of lipid signaling in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis, he showed that the ablation of the lipid-modulating enzyme, phospholipase D2, was protective in different Alzheimer’s disease models. In 2011 he started his post-graduate studies as Assistant Professor at the School of Medicine, University of Minho, where he teaches Anatomy to medical students. While in Minho he expanded his research interests to the study of mood disorders. Using an unbiased lipidomic approach, he showed that specific lipid signaling pathways were altered in a chronic stress model, unraveling new potential therapeutic targets. In parallel with his academic work he continued his medical career. He is currently a Neuroradiologist at Hospital de Braga and he is now using lipidomic approaches associated with brain imaging to study neurodegenerative diseases.
