Biography
Ana Luisa Carvalho (ORCID 0000-0001-8368-6666) is Associate Professor and group leader at the CNC-Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra, Portugal. She has 20 years of experience working as a Neuroscientist. The aim of her research is to uncover cellular and molecular mechanisms at the basis of neuronal excitability and synaptic function, and how they are impaired in brain diseases. She has made important contributions to the identification of receptor associated proteins and metabolic hormones that regulate synaptic function and plasticity, and to understanding synaptic dysfunction in polyQ diseases and autism spectrum disorder. She has published over 60 papers (H index= 29; >3200 citations) in high impact journals such as PNAS, Neuron, Nature Communications and J Cell Biology. Ana Luisa has mentored 15 PhD and 17 MSc students and presently coordinates the H2020-MSCA-ITN European Training Network Syn2Psy-Synaptic Dysfunction in Neuropsychiatric Disorders, and the Master Program in Cellular and Molecular Biology at the University of Coimbra. She has coordinated 12 research grants funded by FCT, the EU or private foundations, and participated in 14 other grants. She was a member of the Scientific Research Council for FCT (2013-16) and is ad hoc reviewer for ERA-NET; Wellcome Trust, BBSR (UK), NOW (The Netherlands); Fondation Fondamental and INSERM/CNRS (France); FWO (Belgium); Neurological Foundation of New Zealand; FCT (Portugal), among others. She has given 27 invited conferences and participated in 84 PhD juries and in 110 Master degree juries.
