About
Filipa Ribeiro is a Full Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Lisbon. Her research focuses on immunology, particularly T follicular cells and their roles in autoimmune diseases, vaccine development, and cancer immunotherapy. She contributes to the Chemical Engineering Laboratories and teaches subjects like Seminars on Innovation and Sustainable Development.
Her work investigates mechanisms of immune regulation in lymphoid tissues, including T follicular helper (Tfh) and regulatory (Tfr) cells, with applications to autoimmune conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome and cancer therapies combining nanovaccines with immunotherapy. Research also explores T cell exhaustion in COVID-19 and developmental pathways of regulatory T cells.
Publications span 2017–2024, emphasizing cellular immunology, disease mechanisms, and translational research. No specific awards are listed, but her lab’s focus on interdisciplinary approaches bridges chemical engineering with biomedical applications.
