Gisela Cristina Vieira Armada graduated in Biochemistry (School of Sciences, University of Minho, Braga) in 2018. She holds a MSc in Health Sciences (School of Medicine, University of Minho, Braga), where she acquired experience mostly in the neurosciences field using in vivo and in vitro models. In 2021, GA was awarded a PhD Fellowship from Foundation of Science and Technology (FCT) for the project "Dissecting the interplay between stress and the proteostasis regulator SNX27 on the reward circuit under the supervision of Dr. Neide Vieira and Dr. Ana João Rodrigues in the "Brain Circuits and Neuron-Glia Adaptations" Team at Life and Health Sciences Research Institute.
