Biography

I am an enthusiastic scientist who thrives on the next discussion, using it as an opportunity to ask more questions and deepen my understanding no matter the subject. I obtained a BSc in Biomedical Sciences (2012) from Beira Interior University (PT) and a MSc in Biomedical Engineering (2014) from University of Oporto (PT). I have a PhD in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine, and Stem Cells from 3B’s Research Group (University of Minho, PT, 2015-2020) in collaboration with Jason Burdick at University of Pennsylvania (USA), where I spent a 6-month internship period (2019). Since Oct 2020, I have been conducting research in a multidisciplinary ground from cancer models to gene therapy as a Postdoc at Nova Medical School in Lisbon-Portugal. I am a passionate mum and wife that spends my little free time on photography and padel.
