ProfileResearchTop 5 Publications

With a bachelor degree in Biology and Health by Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique. In 2019 received a PhD scholarship from Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and is currently enrolled in the PhD in Biomedical Sciences, specialty of Cellular and Molecular Biology at the Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal. Working at Centro de Investigação em Saúde de Manhiça (CISM), Mozambique since 2015, as co-researcher and study coordinator and since 2020 as junior researcher.

Have been working in the diarrhoeal diseases research area, with focus for enteric virus infections, with the application of molecular biology techniques for diagnosis, monitoring infection and track virus evolution. Her research objectives are to evaluate the impact of rotavirus vaccination on the burden of the diarrhoeal disease and rotavirus strain diversity, among children living in a rural area of Mozambique, a low income country.
