2016 - 2021 - ESEP, 125 years of History (ESEP, 125 anos de História).
Between 2016 and 2021 I had the opportunity to work very closely with the "History and Memory Office" (GHM) of the Escola Superior de Enfermagem do Porto (ESEP). The celebrations of 125 years of nursing education in Oporto made it possible to publish a book about the institutional path of three nursing schools that merged in 2007, giving rise to ESEP. The book was presented during an official ceremony held on June the 15th, 2021, ESEP's official day.
2011-2015 - Health and modernity in Ricardo Jorge. A biobibliography ( Saúde e Modernidade em Ricardo Jorge. Estudo biobibliográfico).
As part of my post-doc on History of Science, I developed a personal project entitled "Health and modernity in Ricardo Jorge. A biobibliography" ( Saúde e Modernidade em Ricardo Jorge. Estudo biobibliográfico). The goal was to study the scientific activity of Ricardo Jorge (1858-1938), a remarkable Portuguese doctor, public health specialist and epidemiologist. The project was concluded in 2015 and a full report was issued. A book was also published in 2018, aggregating all the work on the subject.
2007 - 2010 - Portuguese oncology: science, institutions and characters (Oncologia portuguesa: ciência, instituições e personagens).
Lasting from 2007 to 2010, this was the project that led to my PhD thesis. The main goal was to analyze historically the structuring and normalization of oncology as a scientific area, placing it in the broader process of the fight against cancer. The results were presented in several scientific events, mostly in Portugal and ocasionaly abroad. They were also published in several papers and in a book that sumarized the main results.
2004 - 2006 - Medical power and political power (O poder médico e o poder político).
This was my first full research project and led to a masters dissertation. It was built around the need to research the relationship between doctors and state health policy during Portugal`s Estado Novo regime. The results were presented in a book and in a few lectures.
