Biography

As a researcher, Manuela Alvarez has developed her activity at the Research Center for Anthropology and Health (CIAS) of the University of Coimbra, in the field of Biological Anthropology. Along her academical path she has sought to apply a multidisciplinary approach, more specifically, using the bio-cultural theoretical model in the analysis of several demographic and evolutionary events, ranging from population genetics to life expectancy. For the past 5 years, Manuela Alvarez has coordinated a research team aiming to understand how diverse people, and communities experience and respond to the ageing process. The team includes researchers from different fields, such as biological anthropology, social anthropology, psychology, and pharmacy. A wide range of data, from biomarkers of biological age to subjective well-being, was collected in the Region of Coimbra, a reference site for active and healthy ageing recognized by the European Union. The preliminary results were submitted to scientific meetings, and several papers are being prepared based on a deeper analysis of the data.
