Speaker

Ana I. Domingos is a Professor of Neuroscience focused on exploring the neurobiological basis of obesity, with a particular interest in the role of sympathetic neural networks. Her lab is moved by the idea that it is possible to pharmacologically modulate sympathetic neural networks to mitigate obesity without intolerable side effects. After studying undergraduate Mathematics in Lisbon and Paris, she was sponsored by the Gulbenkian PhD program to go to the Rockefeller University in New York City to study olfactory neuroscience with Leslie Vosshall. Her postgraduate studies in sensory neuroscience were followed by postdoctoral work with Jeffrey Friedman. She then investigated how metabolic signals affect brain circuitry underlying sweetener preference and after-taste reward. Her current research interests in sympathetic neurobiology started in her first laboratory at the Gulbenkian Institute four years before moving to Oxford in 2018.
