Inês Pereira graduated in Biochemistry in 2019 from the University of Porto and obtained her MSc in Health Sciences in 2022 from the University of Minho. After finishing her BSc degree, Inês was enrolled in an Erasmus+ internship at the Institute Pasteur in Paris (France), within the project “Hepatic ILC development and response to high-fat diet” supervised by Dr. Rachel Golub. During her MSc thesis, her research focused on studying the impact of hyperglycemia in chick lung branching morphogenesis, under the supervision of Dr. Rute Moura at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), University of Minho. Currently, Inês is a PhD student in Health Sciences under the supervision of Dr. Agostinho Carvalho at ICVS. She has been dedicated to investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying susceptibility to invasive fungal infections, particularly exploring the impact of the immune system on host-fungus interaction. Her ongoing research relies on elucidating the intricate mechanisms linking genetic variation in glycan-binding proteins to susceptibility to viral-fungal coinfections.

Genetic analysis of molecular and functional traits in immune cells, such as gene and protein expression and effector functions, offers a promising strategy for investigating phenotypic variation and dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying propensity to infection.
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…
Recent studies have successfully implicated several factors in the susceptibility to fungal infection, but have provided little insight into the nature of the underlying biological mechanisms. We propose a multiomics approach to link deep clinical phenotyping…
