During the last 16 years my main field of study is neuroimmunology, namely the role of the immune system in neuropsychiatric disorders and cognitive function . To further understand the etiology of psychiatric and immune system disorders and cognitive function, I am also collaborating with research projects that assess the factors that could impact on fetal and infant development (such as iodine supplementation, microbiome alterations) using human samples and animal models. I am a Junior Researcher at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute, University of Minho, with a degree in Biochemistry, a master in Clinical Immunology and a PhD in Health Sciences. I have been part of 12 research projects that resulted on 30 publications (8 of them as a first author) with 85 co-authors, a cumulative impact factor of 139, a total of 802 citations and a H-index of 14 .

Iodine and maternal and child’s health
Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of PREVENTABLE brain damage in infants, impairing the achievement of their full intellectual capabilities. Iodine is needed for the synthesis of thyroid hormones (TH)…
