The main research interests are the research mechanisms and therapeutic targets with respect to anti-malarial drugs; the development of molecular tools for monitoring anti-malarial-resistant malaria parasites and the search for synthetic and natural compounds as potential new anti-malarials.

She is currently coordinator at IHMT-NOVA of Tasks for the projects: EuroNanoMed3-NANOpheles ref. 171129_ERA-Net_NANOpheles; PTDC/BTM-SAL/29786/2017; PTDC/MEDQUI/30021/2017; CIRCNA/BRB/0281/2019; and member of the PTDC/BIA-CEL/28456/2017 team.

Author of 64 articles in international peer-reviewed journals in the areas of malaria pathology and anti-malarial resistance.

She has 2 patents:

• US20180186713 – Anti-malarial agent, methods and uses thereof;
• PAT356:P797.5US – WO2021/033159A1-PYRAZINO [1,2-B]QUINAZOLINE-3,6-DIONES, derivatives, their production and uses thereof.

Regularly maintains collaboration, training and field research activities in Africa with CPLP countries (Cape Verde, Angola and Mozambique), Cameroon and Senegal.

Member of the scientific committee of the PhD program in Tropical Diseases and Global Health at IHMT-NOVA.
