Career Trajectory
Bio
PhD. Jorge Varanda is an Auxiliary Professor of Anthropology at the Department of Life Sciences, University of Coimbra and member of the Direction of the Centre for Research in Anthropology (CRIA), part of its ethics committee and responsible for its Coimbra branch (CRIA-UC).
Varanda did his social and cultural anthropologist training at Coimbra, then followed suit to University College London (UCL) where he did his master in Medical Anthropology and later a PhD with the then existing Wellcome Trust Center.
Throughout the years he created and taught several course (BSc, MSc and PhD) linked with Medical Anthropology and Global Health at University of Coimbra, Lisbon’s Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Brown University-USA. Varanda’s preference for interdisciplinary studies ties with his mantra of epistemological dialogues in equal footing; an idea present both at his teachings and research.
His research and publications centered attention on biomedical care and health issues in Portuguese-Speaking Africa and Portugal. His work has received national and international funding across the years. He was PI of research on a public health programs against human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) in Angola-1900-2010s; he was National PI of an USA project on the emergence and spread HIVs, where he studied HIV-1 subtypes and HIV-2A in Angola and Guinea-Bissau, respectively. His project on the intelligence service of a chartered colonial diamond company might seem out of context, but is key to unravel the early spread of HIV-1 M. He also worked for a project on data sharing in Public Health Emergencies, focusing on the 2016 Yellow Fever epidemic in Angola.
Lately, he was working on malaria, urbanization and climate change in Angola and Guinea-Bissau, when COVID-19 struck and redirected him to work with Doctors of the World with vulnerable and homeless populations in Lisbon. His work in non-academic settings include the implementation of the Verbal Autopsy system at the Research Centre for Health of Angola (CISA).
