“Margarida Correia-Neves is presently Full Professor in Immunology and Microbiology at the School of Medicine, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal, Researcher at the Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS) from the same university and Visiting Researcher at Karolinska Instituted (KI), Stockholm, Sweden. Present research activities mainly focuses on: 1) Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS: immune response and methods to improve the diagnosis and reduce transmission; 2) Peripheral immune profile and thymic function on chronic infections (mycobacterial and HIV); 3) One Health concept on tuberculosis (human and animal interaction). Research activities are performed mainly at the ICVS and KI with long-term collaborations with colleagues in Mozambique.

Margarida Correia-Neves supervised/co-supervised 17 PhD students and 17 Master students (thesis completed); is presently supervising/co-supervising 2 PhD students. Has been a member of the directive board of the PhD program in Health Sciences and the PhD program in Medicine both at the School of Medicine, University of Minho, the Inter-university PhD Program in Aging and Chronic Diseases (School of Medicine at the University of Minho, Medical School at the Nova University in Lisbon and Faculty of Medicine from Coimbra University). Margarida Correia-Neves launch as the director (2020 and 2021) the Doctoral College at the University of Minho.
