Henrique Girao (Orcid: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5786-8447 ) is a Principal Investigator at FMUC and group leader at CIBB. HG has been interested on the mechanisms involved in the regulation of intercellular communication and ubiquitin-dependent lysosomal degradation of membrane proteins. In particular HG has been focused on direct cell-cell communication mediated by gap junctions and long distance communication through EVs, namely in the context of cardiac pathophysiology. HG has been studying the mechanisms and signals that govern the EVs content sorting and release and how these affect the crosstalk between the different cells that form the heart thus contributing to cardiovascular diseases.
