João Filipe Viana graduated in Biochemistry (School of Sciences, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal) in 2017. His final project, developed at the Life and Health Research Institute (ICVS) under the supervision of João Filipe Oliveira (PhD), focused on the role of intracellular calcium elevations in astrocytes from adult and aged mice. JFV remained at the School of Medicine University of Minho to pursue his MSc studies in Health Sciences with his previous supervisor. During his MSc, JFV generated different mouse models using genetic approaches such as tamoxifen-inducible and intracranial virus injection techniques. He also learned and performed several behavioral tests and molecular analysis, which largely contributed to his technical expertise. JFV is currently a PhD student in the Brain Circuits and Neuron-glia Adaptations team under the supervision of João Filipe Oliveira at ICVS and Gertrudis Perea at Cajal Institute.
