Genetic tools were used to ablate the entire population of intestinal stem cells and evaluate its impact on whole-organism fitness. Our findings indicate that constant renewal of epithelium is not absolutely necessary under homeostatic conditions, but is important in the context of widespread chemical-induced damage, when significant repair is necessary.

In the course of a genetic screen, I identified a role for anti-apoptotic pathways in the maintenance of a key cellular component of the testis stem cell niche in Drosophila. Moreover, different experimental paradigms were used to provide the first comprehensive analysis on the effects of a progressive niche reduction on the testis stem cell pool.Supervisor: Leanne Jones, PhD(Voog J, et al, Cell Reports, 2014)(Resende et al, Plos one, 2013)(Resende et al, Current Opinion on Cell Biol, 2012) Show less

NEBUP convenes students from all Biology related Degrees affiliated with University of Porto (Biology, Biochemistry, Geology, etc). This association has revealed to be quite fruitful for the Porto Biology community throughout the past years. Among other relevant initiatives, this association was created to organize scientific meetings. Proudly, one of the annual conferences we initiated (“Biologia à Conversa”) is already in its 10th edition, demonstrating an interesting example of longevity.
