She is a Doctor in Public Health (Faculty of Medicine, U.

Ana Henriques is a Junior Researcher and holds a Scientific Employment Stimulus from FCT since 2019, and a member of the Social Epidemiology group (EPIUnit) and of the Social Adversity and Health Inequalities Lab from the Laboratory for Integrative and Translational Research (ITR).
