Rosana Magalhães has always been truly fascinated with the intricate relationship of the human brain and behavior. She has obtained her Masters in Clinical Psychology, with emphases in Neuropsychology. In 2014, Rosana finished her PhD in Clinical Psychology while researching cognitive deficits and rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis.
Ever since her graduation, she has been collaborating in projects related to dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, stroke, Multiple Sclerosis and traumatic brain injury. From 2016 to 2019, Rosana has worked as a neuropsychologist at Hospital CUF Porto. From 2016 to 2020, she was a visiting professor at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Porto, responsible for the practical component of Neuropsychology class, while assisting with classes related to cognitive sciences and neurosciences. In 2017, she joined Centro Clínico Académico (2CA-Braga) as a clinical psychologist, working on efficacy assessments of pharmaceutical clinical trials. Currently, Rosana is also part of the 2CA-Braga CRO unit, working as start-up specialist and medical writer of several researcher-driven projects.
