Dr. Carvalho has published more than 150 articles in the thyroid field and endocrine disruptors, mainly focused on the mechanisms of iodination reaction and thyroid hormone biosynthesis. She has studied the relation between thyroglobulin iodination and its hormonal contents, thyroperoxidase activity in thyroid lesions and has participated on the biochemical characterization of hydrogen peroxide generation by DuOx in the human thyroid gland. Her group has published outstanding papers on DuOx regulation by iodide and its role in thyroid hormone biosynthesis. She has been the mentor of 31 PhD and 29 MSc students and has written 6 book chapters.
