Vania M.M. Braga
Summary
Vania Braga's research interests include understanding the signalling pathways required for epithelial specification and how these processes are subverted during diseases and tumour progression. She is Deputy-Head of the Molecular Medicine Section, and was appointed Campus Director for the Faculty of Medicine (2012-2015). Dr. Braga participates in a number of editorial boards, review panels and grant committees in Europe.

Her lab focuses on signalling triggered by E-cadherin-dependent cell-cell contacts and small GTPases of the Rho and Rab subfamilies. The lab investigates the mechanisms via which E-cadherin contacts co-regulates different cellular and signalling processes to enable assembly and maintenance of tight adhesion, epithelial function and differentiation.
