Daniela Ramalho is a researcher affiliated with the Católica Biomedical Research Centre (CBR) at Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Her work focuses on endothelial cell biology, vascular morphogenesis, and angiogenesis.

• Specializes in cellular mechanisms of arteriovenous malformations
• Active in 2024 with publications in Cardiovascular Research
• Collaborates internationally on vascular development studies

Her research explores:

• Endothelial cell polarity competition
• Vascular shunt formation/resolution
• Cell volume regulation in angiogenesis
• Actin dynamics and dactylopodia
• Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways
• Genetic and non-genetic models of vascular development

Key trends in her publications (2018-2024) include:

• Collaborative studies with institutions in the U.S. and Europe
• Multidisciplinary approach combining cell biology and computational modeling
• Focus on mouse retina as a model system
• High-impact publications in Developmental Cell and PNAS
