Biography

I am a cell biologist with extensive scientific knowledge in microbiology, host-pathogen interaction, and advanced microscopy approaches. I have over 15 years’ experience in scientific project design/management, undergraduate and postgraduate student supervision and writing/communication of scientific information to both expert and non-expert audiences. To attest to this: I am lead author in several high-profile publications with over 3000 citations. I have supervised Master and PhD students and postdoctoral scientists. I have been actively involved in several outreach initiatives (e.g. In2Science, ITQB NOVA - open day). I have served in several decision boards in Universidade Nova de Lisboa (NOVA), University College London (UCL) and the Francis Crick Institute (FCI) where I have worked with academic, industrial, and political partners to define scientific and institutional vision and impact strategies (e.g. MRC-LMCB and ITQB NOVA postdoc committee, ITQB NOVA bylaws workgroup). From 2021-2024 I was an invited member of the Young Scientists Seminar from the Lisbon Academy of Sciences. Experiences that have provided me with a comprehensive view about research and the scientific endeavour. From a research point of view I have made significant contributions in the fields of Staphylococcus aureus cell biology (e.g. discovering a link between peptidoglycan and wall teichoic acids biosynthesis), host-pathogen interaction (e.g. importance of autolysins for immune evasion, or the role of septins in the recognition of intracellular pathogens), hardware, software and probe based technological innovations for microscopy (e.g. NanoJ-Fluidics, NanoJ-SRRF and Super-Beacons, respectively). I was awarded a “La Caixa” Junior Leader Fellowship, a FCT project grant and a ”Maratona da Saúde” award to develop my independent research project in Portugal. Since October 1st, 2021, I have my own research group at ITQB NOVA, Intracellular Microbial Infection Biology (IMIB) laboratory.
