Dr Cristina Carvalho| Neurosciences and Metabolism | Women Researcher Award 

 

I am a doctorate junior investigator, hired under the Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT) individual call for scientific employment 2017 (CEECIND/02201/2017). I graduated in Biology from the University of Coimbra (UC) in 2007 and completed a master’s degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology from UC in 2008, scoring 18 out of 20. I obtained my Ph.D. in Cellular Biology from UC in 2013, achieving the highest distinction: Summa cum laude. In 2015, I was awarded a science management fellowship, and from 2016 to 2019, I received a national post-doc fellowship from FCT.
