SUMMARY:ICVS Student Seminar “Unveiling tuberculosis susceptibility: the key role of alveolar macrophages”
DESCRIPTION:Next Monday at 1 pm\, don’t miss Consuelo Micheli “Unveiling tuberculosis susceptibility: the key role of alveolar macrophages” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nI obtained a degree in Biological Science in 2015 and a Master degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology in 2019 both awarded by the University of Pisa (Pisa\, Italy). In 2020\, I moved to Portugal in the context of the Erasmus+ project to study the role of alveolar macrophages in tuberculosis immunity which allowed me to generate preliminary data to successfully secure a Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) PhD fellowship. I am currently working as PhD student at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS) investigating the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In 2024\, in the context of the work that I am developing in my PhD program\, I was awarded with a European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) research grant to investigate the role of alveolar macrophages in resistance vs susceptibility to the intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The seminars will take place every Thursday at 1 PM.\nOur first speaker\, Ricardo Silvestre\, Principal Investigator at the i3D thematic team\, will present his talk titled “Integrating lipid and immunometabolic pathways in Leishmania pathogenesis” in room A0.03 next Thursday\, April 3rd at 1PM.\nThese seminars offer a great opportunity to stay updated on the latest research\, engage in discussions\, and network with colleagues. We encourage all researchers\, students\, and staff to attend. \nRicardo Silvestre earned his degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2003 and his PhD in 2007 from the Faculty of Pharmacy\, University of Porto.  \nHis early research focused on immunology and parasitology\, including studies on Plasmodium falciparum at the Institute Pasteur in Paris. \nHis PhD research continued in Leishmania epigenetics\, immune response\, and vaccine development. \nCurrently\, he is a Principal Investigator at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS)\, University of Minho\, where his research integrates molecular and cellular mechanisms to understand the immune-metabolic interface during immune responses. \nHis work explores how changes in host cell metabolism during inflammation or infection affect immune functions and tissue homeostasis\, aiming to develop new approaches for prevention and treatment.
