Biomedicines Webinar | Recent Advances in Mitochondrial Biology
Meet Our Speakers
Dr. Susana Cardoso
Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra, Portugal;
Susana Cardoso graduated in Biology in 2008 from the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of University of Coimbra, Portugal, where she also received her PhD degree in Cellular Biology in 2013 after a scientific internship at the Yale University School of Medicine, USA. She conducted her postdoctoral research at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra, where presently she is a doctorate researcher. Her research interests have been focused in exploring the field of metabolic disorders like diabetes and its interplay with neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, giving an emphasis on mitochondria (energy, homeostasis and signals) role in this link. During her research path, she has been actively enrolled in the supervision and tutoring of several students (lab rotations and investigation chairs, master students); is an ad-hoc reviewer of manuscripts for several renowned international Journals; has been the Guest-Editor of several Special Issues and has participated in different society education activities. She has also received some awards/distinctions/honors including a recent recognition as an Expertscape Expert in Alzheimer Disease by the Expertscape Recognition Program (2021). In her curriculum it can be found >45 scientific peer-reviewed papers with over 3439 citations and an h-index of 30, according to Google Scholar. She has integrated the research team of some previously funded research projects as collaborator and as Co-PI.

On Monday 10th October 2022 , MDPI and the Journal Biomedicines organized the 1st Webinar on Biomedicines entitled “ Recent advances in mitochondrial biology”. This online seminar was chaired by Dr. Susana Cardoso Centre for Neuroscience and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra, Portugal who was joined by Professor . Dr. Paula Moreira from the CNC, Centre for Neuroscience and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra, Portugal. Dr Daniele Ghezzi from the Unit of Medical Genetics and Neurogenetics, Department of Pathophysiology and Transplantation, University of Milan, Italy. Finally, José A. Sánchez-Alcázar from Andalusian Center for Developmental Biology and director of the PAIDI group.
All scientists are responsible for contributing to the research surrounding mitochondrial biology. This seminar covered changes in mitochondria and how it can lead to disease, causes of mitochondria damage and current treatment options for mitochondrial diseases. The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found here on Sciforum website.
