Nuno Saraiva. Completed his PhD in Cell Biology and Virology in 2012 by Imperial College London Faculty of Medicine, his MSc in Genetics and Molecular biology in 2008 by Universidade de Lisboa Faculdade de Ciências and his BSc in Microbiology and Genetics in 2006 by Universidade de Lisboa Faculdade de Ciências. Nuno developed his Post-Doc research project at the University of Cambridge, Department of Pathology, UK. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the Lusófona University and an Invited Assistant Professor at the Lisbon University Faculty of Sciences (FCUL). Nuno is a Principal investigator since 2017 at the Research Center for Biosciences & Health Technologies (CBIOS). There, he has studied the impact of intracellular Ca2+ and redox modulation/signalling on cancer progression by dissecting their role on processes such as cancer cell migration/invasion and survival/death. He has received 5 awards and/or honours. Published more than 35 full articles in international journals and one book chapter. Organised various scientific event(s) and participated on the management committee of three COST actions (EuroCellNet ERNEST and Adher´n Rise) and is part of the Net4Brain action. Supervisor of 3 PhD theses. Supervised over 15 MSc and 10 BSc dissertations, in addition to numerous undergrad students (scientific initiation) or Erasmus+ trainees.
