Inês Boal Carvalho
Senior Scientist
Inês joined Virtus Respiratory Research as a Senior Scientist in December 2024, bringing extensive expertise in molecular virology and immunology.
She obtained her BSc in Biology, followed by an MSc in Molecular and Cell Biology, and later completed a PhD in Molecular Virology. Her doctoral research focused on viral-host interactions, particularly the mechanisms by which influenza A viruses modulate innate immune responses. She then pursued postdoctoral research in T cell signalling, dendritic cell biology, and tumour models, further expanding her expertise in immune regulation and cellular responses to infection.
Throughout her career, Inês has developed extensive proficiency in molecular and cellular biology techniques, virology, and immunology. Her work has contributed to understanding how viruses evade immune detection and influence inflammatory pathways.
As a Senior Scientist at VirTus, Inês is involved in laboratory research, experimental design, and data interpretation, ensuring scientific rigour and innovation in respiratory virus research.
