Gisela Armada

  • Behavior
  • Protein Trafficking
  • Neurodegeneration
  • Reward
  • Sorting Nexins
  • Stress

Gisela Armada graduated in Biochemistry (School of Sciences, University of Minho) in 2018. She holds an MSc in Health Sciences (School of Medicine, University of Minho), where she acquired research experience in neuroscience and behavioral biology. Since 2021, Gisela has been a PhD Student, supported by FCT, in the Biomedicine and Health Sciences Doctoral Program, where she aims to further dissect the role of SNX27 in the reward circuit and the modulatory effects of stress exposure, using both in vivo and in vitro models. Gisela has also been actively involved in science outreach and communication activities, having participated in national and international conferences/meetings, the “Brain Awareness Week”, and as an event manager of the “Pint of Science” in Portugal, a non-profit association whose main objective is to make scientific discussion accessible to the entire population.
