Bio
I am originally a DVM graduate from the University of Lisbon, with 5 years of clinical activity in Portugal mainland and Azores. In 1998 I was selected for the Gulbenkian Ph.D. Program in Biology and Medicine. After the first year of classes and courses, I headed to Pasadena to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), to perform research on the mechanisms of memory and learning with Dr. Erin Schuman. After graduating in Neuroscience, I moved to MIT (Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department, and Picower Institute), to study memory, learning, and decision, under the supervision of Dr. Matthew Wilson, using in vivo electrophysiology.
In 2014, after 15 years in the US, I arrived in Portugal to form my own research group, and in 2018 I was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Lisbon Medical School.
As I returned to Portugal from the US, and joined my current institute, I established a Circuits/Systems Neuroscience Lab from the empty ground: neural recording/optogenetics, behavior, and a stereotaxic surgical suite. I personally trained students in electronics, micromechanics, computer analysis, animal surgery, electrophysiology, animal behavior, and optogenetics. I found that cortical neurons respond to the recall of hippocampal memory (Cell Rep., 2015), and developed a novel implant to perform electrophysiology in rodents (Front. Neural Circuits, 2017). My first senior author article fills a critical gap in exploring the neural circuits and mechanisms supporting memory-guided behaviors (Cell Rep., 2019). We then demonstrated that a section of the temporal lobe is necessary for rats to memorize time intervals (JNeurosci., 2021) and developed a novel surgical access to deep medial brain structures previously hard to access (eNeuro, 2021).
In August 2022 I became a tenured Professor of Physiology at ULHT, and was awarded the position of Principal Investigator in FCT's 5th Individual CEEC competition (8% attribution rate), maintaining my position of Researcher at iMM-JLA.
I’ve presented scientific talks in Portugal, the UK, Spain, Italy, and Germany, and collaborated with groups inside and outside iMM. My first performance evaluation, at my current Institute, happened in Nov 2019 (4 years and 8 months after I started my lab). My Research Program, performance, and future directions were evaluated by an international panel of reputed neuroscientists, with excellent results (document Attached, MiguelRemondes_External_Reviewers_Report_iMM_2019.pdf).
Besides research, I always wanted to teach, as I believe in transmitting acquired knowledge, whenever possible informed with the results of my own research. I know, from students’ testimonials, that I am a talented teacher, explaining complex themes in simple words, and motivating students for academia, research, and other careers. I am therefore involved in several instances of postgraduate teaching (MSc e Ph.D.) in three Universities in Portugal (Lisbon, Lisbon NOVA, and Coimbra), making every effort to help students build a solid body of knowledge, reflect, and critically interpret their own work and that of others. I have specific training in teaching, as in 2013 I completed at the MIT Teaching and Learning Lab, the Kaufman Teaching Certificate Program (KTCP), http://tll.mit.edu/help/graduate-studentteaching-certificate-program, designed to prepare postdocs for a future academic career as Professors.
