Short CV
Salomé Pinho received her D.V.M. from the University of Porto in 2004 and developed her PhD research at the Institute of Molecular Pathology and Immunology of Univ. Porto (IPATIMUP) and at Boston Medical School, MA, USA from 2006 to 2009. She performed her postdoctoral work at IPATIMUP in the glycobiology and disease field. At present, she is Researcher (PI) at IPATIMUP/i3S and affiliated Professor at Faculty of Medicine at University of Porto. Her research activity is focused on the understanding of the role of post-translational modifications by glycosylation in the regulation of key proteins´ functions involved in cancer and in chronic inflammatory conditions, envisioning potential clinical applications. She is author of several publications in international peer-reviewed journals (as first and senior author) including Nature Reviews Cancer, Oncogene and Human Molecular Genetics. She supervises a research team composed by Post-Docs, PhD students, Master students and young researchers. She is the Principal Investigator of several national/international funded projects in the field of cancer and inflammatory diseases. She received the Young Investigator Award from the European Association for Cancer Research and is inventor of 2 patents.

Highlights
- To uncover the role of post-translational modifications by glycosylation in the regulation of pivotal proteins involved in the process of cancer cell invasion and metastases envisioning potential clinical applications.

- To identify novel molecular mechanisms and potential biomarkers, based in glycosylation modifications, that may underlie the pathogenesis of pre-cancerous diseases such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Potential therapeutic applications.
