Ricardo Silvestre explores how immune cells use energy to fight infections like Leishmania. His research reveals how changes in cellular metabolism influence immune defense and inflammation, opening doors to smarter ways to treat infectious diseases. icvs.uminho.pt/member/ricar... #ICVSTakeOver

Fernando Rodrigues’s lab studies the pathogenesis and virulence of dimorphic and filamentous fungi, like Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Sporothrix spp., uncovering
the genetic and molecular tricks that make these pathogens thrive and cause disease.

🔬 ICVS Social Media Takeover | i3D Team

This week, the i3D team at ICVS takes over our social media. They study the immune system in action, from pathogen defense to inflammation and tissue damage. Follow us to learn more this week. #ICVS #i3D #ICVSTakeOver

On Dec 6, ICVS hosted “Multiple Sclerosis: Learn to Care” with healthcare professionals, patients, and families. Sessions included MRI interpretation and interactive activities like NeuroSpike.
