Catarina graduated in Biochemistry in 2016 by the School of Sciences, University of Minho (Portugal). In 2018, she completed her MSc degree in Health Sciences from the School of Medicine, University of Minho (Portugal). Since October 2019, she is a PhD student in Health Sciences doctoral program at the School of Medicine, University of Minho, granted by a fellowship from FCT. During her PhD thesis she aims to unveiling the potential involvement of c-Met signalling in immune cells in cellular and molecular processes in pulmonary fibrosis and aspergillosis, using mouse models and in vitro approaches. Overall she co-authored 5 articles. She co-supervised 1 MSc students and 2 BSc students.

The reprogramming of cellular metabolism is a fundamental mechanism whereby immune cells respond to infection. The sensing of microbial ligands by myeloid cells promotes dynamic changes in host cell metabolism to deliver a rapid source of energy to support…
Acute lung injury and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are severe lung diseases causing irreversible lung damage with a high mortality rate and ineffective treatment approaches. Excessive inflammatory response, abnormal self-repair, and fibrosis development…
