Biography
I am a post-graduate student supervised by Dr Lisa Alves, investigating the association between brain hypoxia and development of neurodegenerative diseases in brachycephalic dogs. I graduated from the University of Porto – Portugal in veterinary medicine and, after less than a year working at a university teaching hospital back in Portugal, began a Junior Clinical Training Scholarship in Small Animals studies at the QVSH – University of Cambridge. I then spent 5 years in small animal general practice, before returning to the QVSH in July 2018 as Junior veterinarian in neurology, which was followed by a residency in neurology and neurosurgery. My training as a veterinary neurologist was completed in March 2022 and I then stayed on at the Cambridge vet school teaching hospital as a Clinical Neurologist.
