She started her group at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in 2012 and currently has double affiliation with the Católica Biomedical Research Centre and the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência. Her group focuses on host-pathogen interactions using as a model system influenza A virus and influenza B virus. Since the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, she has become interested in finding novel methods of diagnostic and testing mechanisms that neutralize viral entry. She is an international leader and visiting program alumni, a premier exchange program from the US state department, and her research is supported by the European Research Council, La Caixa, and FCT. Maria João finds it important to engage and inform the general public and thus has participated in many outreach actions, representing the virology/scientific community, including on TV and Radio broadcasts, and in documentaries and press releases, and has published pieces about vaccination, virology, and SARS-CoV-2/COVID.
