Co-responsible for the development of new educational materials for the project.Direct reports include teams in the field, in 3 countries, the global project website manager and emerging markets countries support on the project implementation.

Portugal

Continuing in the same project, I assumed, in addition, the leadership of 2 cross-country projects (out of 4 in the team) with external collaborators.

Portugal

In an international project, I was responsible for the project first implementation and development in Portugal territory, managing the project tools, all the Health Care Professional Portuguese teams, activities, and other stakeholders on the process, such as the different societies and other partners. I was able to sucessfully involve most of the hospitals, pre-hospital teams and ensure the implementation of the main key actions important for stroke care.

In a more translational perspective, the main aim is to construct a bridge between the clinical and scientific look towards the same pathology: asphyxia episodes in the premature or newborn babies.Cell Death and Disease Laboratory, under the supervision of Helena L.A. Vieira, PhDProject entitled “Perinatal asphyxia and hyperoxia resuscitation: insight into the cellular mechanisms” (classification of 4.53 out of 5)

PhD in Neuroscience.One of the motivational quotes of this thesis was from Paracelsus (16th century) "The dose makes the poison". With a therapeuthical purpose, low doses of carbon monoxide (very well known for its toxicity) was studied in different brain models. It was discovered that low levels of carbon monoxide were protective and how did it confer this protection.The work performed generated 5 scientific papers. The elaborated PhD thesis won the award of Best ITQB PhD Thesis 2012, sponsored by Fundação Jacqueline Dias de Sousa.At Animal Cell Technology Unit and Cell Death and Disease Laboratory, under the supervision of Dr. Helena L.A. Vieira and Dr. Paula M. Alves. PhD project entitled “Disclosing Carbon Monoxide Protection in Cerebral Ischemia: Insight into the cellular mechanisms” (classification of 4.94 out of 5; first candidate on the area’s national ranking).Visiting student: March 2009 – Trondheim, Norway Learn how to perform a rodent model of cerebral hypoxia-ischemia. Department of Laboratory Medicine, Children's and Women's Health, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway, under the supervision of Dr. Asta Håberg and Dr. Marius WidorØe. May-June and October-December 2009 – Turin, Italy Perform experiments under the scope of the PhD project Department of Anatomy, Pharmacology and Forensic Medicine, University of Turin Medical School, Turin, Italy, under the supervision of Prof. Alessandro Vercelli.

Oeiras, Lisboa, Portugal

I've performed the first study on the protective effect of an agent normally known as toxic in low doses, carbon monoxide. The work performed generated 1 scientific paper. Final classification of 19 (out of 20).At Animal Cell Technology Unit, under the supervision of Dr. Helena L.A. Vieira and Dr. Paula M. Alves.
