    Description

    I am currently a group leader and an ERA Chair Holder at the IBMC/i3S, in Porto, Portugal. I have vast experience in research in an Academic setting. In the last 18 years I have worked in different Institutions, as well as different countries, including Portugal, Netherlands, USA, Germany and the UK. I am passionate about Science, Science communication, networking and mentoring. During the last years I have been engaged with student mentoring and career advising. I am devoted supporting junior scientists in their careers, either as a mentor or as an advisor. I am experienced in grant, manuscript and application writing. I can help you not only in career advising, but also in writing CV, motivation Letters, prepare applications for different fellowships, among other things. I am always at a distance of a click. During my PhD I have worked in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Bruce Walker (Partners AIDS Research Center/Massachusetts General Hospital/ Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA) and in the laboratory of Dr. Luís Moita (Instituto de Medicina Molecular, Lisbon, Portugal). As a postdoc I worked in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Stefan Kaufmann (Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany). In 2019, I moved to the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at the University of Oxford (Oxford, UK) as a Principal Investigator to establish and lead my own research group. Recently, in February 2022, I moved to the IBMC/i3S, University of Porto (Porto, Portugal) as a group leader and ERA Chair Holder, where I lead my own research group. Besides academia, I have extensive experience in Social enterpreneurship organizations, as founder and leader, or as an active member. I am one of the founding members of ASPPA (Association of Postgraduate Portuguese in Germany) and the first elected president, as well as one of the founding members of JAZZ'aqui (an association that envisages the promotion of Portuguese Jazz and Portuguese Jazz musicians). I have been awarded both as a Scientist and as a Social Enterpreneur. As a Scientist, I have been awarded multiple travel grants, prizes for best communications, as well as a prize for being the best Biochemistry student. As a Social Enterpreneur and a Leader, I have been granted different prizes and awards, including a Leadership Portugaleser Prize, attributed by PortugalPost, being considered among the 25 Portuguese personalities with impact in Germany in the last 25 years.

    Chaperone plays a vital role in today’s future. I witnessed firsthand how they played an instrumental role in widening the horizon of our Ph.D. students. Through a very well-structured entrepreneurial bootcamp, Chaperone consultants managed to deliver actionable knowledge that I have no doubt will help our researchers streamline more sustainable careers.

    Tiago Gama Rocha, Assistant Professor, University of Porto

    The session with Chaperone was amazing! I’ve got a lot of insights and I feel like I know more about myself and what I want to do in life! Absolutely mind blown! Thank you so much!

    Niklas Hoffmamn, LIUC Università Carlo Cattaneo

    I had two sessions with Chaperone, one to prepare a competitive CV able to make me stand out, and another to prepare for an interview. Both sessions went really well, with the advice being clear and very useful, with an emphasis on the small things which ultimately made a big difference.

    André Carvalho, MSc, University of Porto

    My session was very challenging and clarifying. The consultant was a very intelligent and open minded specialist and defied me to push my limits while understanding my reality, and helped me to organize my thoughts regarding my doubts, empowering me to make a clear and fundamented decision. I highly recommend Chaperone.

    Rita Fonseca, MD, Family Medicine Residency Program, Portugal

    With Chaperone, it has been possible to tailor and deliver career support programs that match the needs of the students and researchers at Karolinska Institute. We appreciate Chaperones’ well-structured operations management, a wide range of career-development-related topics and activities, and the great career consultants. We look forward to continuing this fruitful collaboration!

    Raquel Tavares & Vladimir Pabón-Martínez, Coordinators at Karolinska Institutet Career Service

    The increase in complexity surrounding the science job market emphasizes the need for career counselling and coaching, in both the private and academic settings. All science professionals should take advantage of platforms that help them identify or develop the skills they need to navigate this job market.
