个人简介
Summary: Henrique Silveira holds a PhD in Parasitology by the Imperial College, UK. Currently, he is a Full Professor at IHMT-NOVA (Lisbon, Portugal). From 2015-2019 was IHMT-NOVA deputy director for Science and Scientific Coordinator of the R&D Centre “Global Health and Tropical Medicine” (UID/Multi/04413), graded as excellent by FCT (Portugal Science Foundation) in the last 2 R&D centers evaluation. Visiting Researcher at the Tropical Medicine Foundation of Amazonas (FMT-HVD), Manaus, Brazil. Coordinates the PhD programs Global Health and Tropical Medicine. Till 2019 represented IHMT in the Network of National Institutes of Public Health of Portuguese Speaking Countries (RINSP/CPLP) and collaborated with the DGS Cooperation Division. In this context, he developed activities such as institutional diagnostics and planning, development of strategic plans, projects, and training. He is involved in the development and implementation of the security insectary ACL3: VIASEF from the Portuguese Road Map of Research Infrastructures.
Research: The research group he coordinates is currently centered on the interactions between mosquitoes and Plasmodium parasites and how it can be modulated by external factors. Their goal is to develop effective tools to prevent malaria transmission by Anopheles mosquitoes. The group investigates mechanism of action of molecules able to modulate mosquito response to parasite, increasing resistance to infection. Murine malaria and Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes are use as models. Similar approaches using field mosquitoes experimentally infected with Plasmodium vivax is being developed in collaboration with FMT-HVD, Manaus, Brazil. At the FMT-HVD he also develops activities on the molecular characterization of Trypanosoma cruzi from the Amazon and its association with the eco-biology of vectors and Chagas disease outcomes. Most recently a blood-free diet for mosquito rearing (patent WO/2019/198013) was developed with the financial support from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Field approaches in Africa and large scale/long term usage is being further pursued. With collaborators, they show that alpha-gal vaccination confers sterile protection against malaria in mice, suggesting that a similar approach may reduce malaria transmission in humans. Currently we are studying the role of alpha-gal on invasion of host cells by parasites. Overall, Henrique Silveira has coordinated/participated in more than 20 national and international research projects with competitive funding, has over 50 peer-reviewed articles, 2 book chapters and successfully supervised 7 PhD students. See CV for more details.
