  • Proteostasis
  • Synapse
  • Molecular Biology
  • Neurodegeneration
  • Reward Circuit
  • Glutamatergic Transmission
  • Stress
  • Behavior

Neide Vieira has gained strong experience in cellular & molecular biology, and related fields such as Life Sciences, working in distinct labs in Europe and in the USA: IMS, Aberdeen (UK); Institute Jacques Monod, École Normale Supérieure, Paris (France); NYU, NY (USA); IMM, Lisbon and ICVS, Braga, (PT). Overall, she has been highly dedicated in studying the molecular mechanisms underlying pathophysiological processes, such as those occurring in cancer, infectious & neurological disorders, in a quest to identify disease-related molecular biomarkers and therapeutical approaches. In parallel she has been actively engaged in the development of new generation diagnostic tools to improve personalized healthcare and therapeutics. For that purpose she has been using a wide array of organisms (fungi, protozoan parasites, rodents, nematodes, humans), as well as in vitro approaches, and biosensors. NV has a marked knowledge on molecular and biochemical analyses, behavioral characterization and imaging. She’s proficient in the collection, organization and management of large data sets and statistical analysis. She has participated in several research projects, including those involving human studies (translational research), and she is a 2016 NARSAD Young Investigator. NV has supervised 25 students, attracted > 110k in funding as a PI and of >220K as IPLEXMED co-founder and CMO. NV has published 16 manuscripts (8-Q1 journals) IF=71(+3 in preparation). NV has also been responsible for public relations and science communication/outreach activities in NYU, in ICVS and IPLEXMED. NV is a team work oriented scientist and bioentrepreneur with validated communication and leadership skills.
