Curriculum Vitae

Marta R. Casanova

Innovations in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine, and Cancer Diagnostics Dr. Marta R. Casanova is a pioneering researcher specializing in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine, and Biomedical Sciences, with a strong focus on cancer diagnostics and precision medicine. With an academic foundation in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Algarve, she deepened her expertise through a Master’s in Molecular Genetics at the University of Minho, where she developed novel methodologies for colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention and treatment. Her PhD research at the renowned 3B’s Research Group was instrumental in advancing biofunctionalized biomaterials for skeletal and neural regeneration, positioning her as a key contributor to regenerative medicine and biomedical innovation. At the intersection of biomaterials and oncology, Dr. Casanova has led groundbreaking studies in extracellular vesicle (EV) research, biosensing platforms, and liquid biopsy technologies, pioneering high-sensitivity tools for early CRC detection. Her expertise in electrospun nanofibers, microfluidic biosensors, and bioengineered surfaces has bridged fundamental research and translational applications, driving forward next-generation diagnostic technologies. As a core researcher in ONCOSCREEN, a Horizon Europe initiative for CRC early detection, she has played a pivotal role in the development of microfluidic platforms for liquid biopsy, focusing on circulating tumor cell (CTC) and EV-based profiling for metastasis detection. Key Contributions and Impact ¿ High-Impact Publications and Patents Co-author of peer-reviewed articles in top-tier journals, including npj Regenerative Medicine, Materials Horizons, Acta Biomaterialia, and ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Principal inventor of patented biomaterials and biosensing platforms for regenerative medicine and cancer diagnostics. ¿ International Collaborations & Research Leadership Established high-impact collaborations with AGH University, University of Siena, IPO Porto, and Hospital de Braga, advancing translational research in biosensing, nanomedicine, and CRC diagnostics. ¿ Mentorship & Research Training Supervised and trained MSc and PhD students, contributing to capacity-building in biomaterials engineering, biosensing, and molecular oncology. Actively involved in international scientific dissemination and conference presentations, strengthening research visibility. ¿ Research Funding & Recognition Recipient of competitive research grants, securing funding for innovative biomedical solutions. Active participant in multidisciplinary consortia, ensuring scalability and clinical translation of emerging diagnostic technologies. Vision & Future Impact Dr. Casanova is committed to revolutionizing cancer care through innovative biomaterials-based biosensing technologies, bridging the gap between research, clinical applications, and commercialization. By integrating nanotechnology, biofunctionalized surfaces, and molecular profiling, she aims to enhance early cancer detection, improve patient outcomes, and make precision oncology more accessible. Her dedication to scientific excellence, translational impact, and interdisciplinary innovation places her at the forefront of personalized medicine, regenerative therapies, and next-generation cancer diagnostics. ¿ Her work is shaping the future of precision oncology by developing cost-effective, scalable, and high-performance liquid biopsy platforms that will redefine cancer screening and patient monitoring worldwide.
