Joana Tulha holds a Bachelor degree in Applied Biology (2009) and a Master degree in Molecular Genetics (2011), both from the University of Minho. During her Bachelor and Master thesis she studied the 1) regulation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae glycerol transporter Stl1 at low temperatures, and 2) the influence of lipid rafts on apoptotic cell death induced by acetic acid using S. cerevisiae as a model, respectively. In 2017 she completed her PhD in Molecular and Environmental Biology (spec. Health and Cellular Biology) at University of Minho with the thesis: characterization of ScGup1 partners in the yeast putative Hedgehog-like morphogenic pathway. Joana also participated in the PHENOMET project (Integrative Pheno-metabolomic and genetic approaches for S. cerevisiae winemaking yeasts), at University of Minho, with a research fellowship.  Currently, she works in a research fellowship in the project “Protein-protein interactions as drug targets: modulation of Phosphoprotein Phosphatase 1 complexes in male fertility”, at Fardilha’s Lab.
