After graduating at University of Minho in Applied Biology in 2010, I enrolled in the master program of Molecular and Cellular Biology at University of Coimbra that year. In 2011 I spent 10 months at Janssen Pharmaceutica (Beerse, Belgium) to develop my master thesis on “Tau seeding models as a platform for Tau aggregation and clearance study”. After that, I was invited to stay at Janssen Pharmaceutica, in collaboration with and Katholieke Universiteit (Leuven, Belgium) for a Ph.D. From 2012 to 2016 I worked on my PhD thesis “Modulation of Tau Pathology Propagation” and published two first author papers. After that, in 2016, I joined the labs of Prof. Bart de Strooper and Joris de Wit at VIB-Center for Brain and Disease in Leuven, where I studied role of sleep in the modulation of synaptic plasticity and brain homeostasis in early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Currently, I am a Postdoc at ICVS under an ERA Fellowship program, and will further expand these topics of research.
