个人简介
Maria João Amorim is an Associate Professor at the Medical School, Universidade Católica Portuguesa, and a group leader and vice director at Católica Biomedical research Centre. She studied Biochemistry at Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade do Porto, did her PhD research in the University of Cambridge, UK, and has done postdocs at the National Institute for medical research in the UK, and at the University of Cambridge in the UK too. She started her group at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in 2012 and currently she has double affiliation to Católica Biomedical Research Centre and Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência. Her group focuses on host-pathogen interactions using as a model system influenza A virus and influenza B virus. Since SARS-CoV-2 pandemics, she became interested in finding novel methods of diagnostic and testing mechanisms that neutralize viral entry. She is an international leader 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 important to engage and inform the general public, and hence has participated in many outreach actions, representing the virology/scientific community, including in TV and Radio broadcasts, documentaries, press releases, and has published pieces about vaccination, virology and SARS-CoV-2/COVID.
For the past years, her group has focused on influenza A virus interactions with the host, and we identified that influenza forms viral inclusions that have the properties of liquids and proposed these are sites dedicated to the assembly of influenza epidemic and pandemic genomes. Our vision is that elucidating how liquid viral inclusions are formed, maintained and integrated into the cell during viral infections will pave our current and limited understanding of how viruses hijack this type of cellular compartmentalization to accomplish key aspects of their viral lifecycles.
