Ana Cláudia Magalhães

Ana Cláudia Magalhães is a PhD student at the University of Aveiro, with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s in Health Psychology and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation. Her main research field concerns the processing of perceptual disease-connoting stimuli and the articulation between the behavioral and the biological immune systems. Specifically, her goal is to study the mechanisms underlying the socio-emotional processing of disease/disgust stimuli in its affective, cognitive and behavioural components, and if these responses are modulated by changes in the biological immune system.
