Biography
Dr. Carvalho, PI at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (CNC), University of Coimbra (UC), studies underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms that are in the origin of diabetes and complications. She has discovered that low insulin receptor substrate-1 protein levels in fat are predictors of pre-diabetes. She investigates insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction in adipocytes in response to immunosuppressive and antipsychotic drugs She is studying the effect of functional foods in combating insulin resistance and inflammation, to protect from these chronic diseases.

Moreover, she is also evaluating wound healing and tissue regeneration in diabetes, with the goal of enhancing early diagnosis of subjects at risk for chronic complications in order to personalize treatment. She is assessing the role of microRNAs and antimicrobial peptides in animal models of diabetic wound healing and infection. Dr. Carvalho and her team are advocates of Health Literacy for the public.

She has published over 80 scientific papers (h-index=37; >4000 citations; google scholar). She has mentored: Post-Docs (>20); PhDs (10); Master/Erasmus students (>20) and she has obtained >30 travel fellowships from the European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes (EFSD) for young students. She has secured funding: Europe (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2016 TREATMENT; EFSD; Diabetes UK); NIH (NIGMS-NIH P20GM109096; Pepper Older American Independence Centers; ABI); National (INFARMED; FCT; SPD; SPT). She is a board member: European Tissue Repair Society, senior editor: J of Endocrinology; J Mol Endocrinology, and reviewer for >40 journals and funding agencies: MRC UK; Israel Sci F; FONDECYT/CONACYT; FWF Der Wissenschaftsfonds; Wellcome Trust; Diabetes UK; French ANR. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/1N_kjxvZYzSAP/bibliography/public/
