Susana G. Santos (Orcid: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8604-2978) is an Assistant Investigator at i3S-INEB. She did her basic degree in Biology and masters in Molecular Microbiology, at the University of Aveiro, before moving to the University of Porto to do her PhD as part of the G.A.B.B.A. program.She performed her PhD studies in the area of immunology, particularly Major Histocompatibility Complex in T cell biology, in a collaboration between ICBAS and IBMC at the University of Porto, Portugal and the College of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee, in Scotland, UK. After her PhD she worked on the biology of dendritic cells in the Medical School, at St Andrews University and later became a Medical Research Council (MRC) Career Development Fellow, at the MRC-Protein Phosphorylation Unit, at the College of Life Sciences in Dundee, studying different signalling pathways in the immune system. At the end of 2008 she moved back to Porto to work at INEB, as a Ciência 2007 fellow. She has been working on the relation between inflammation and tissue regeneration. Her current research interests are in modulating the immune and inflammatory responses to promote tissue repair/regeneration, and investigating the role of extracellular vesicles (including exosomes) in cell crosstalk during inflammation resolution and tissue regeneration.
