Alexandra obtained her PhD on Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells, at University of Minho in 2020, supported by a Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) scholarship (2015-2019), and by the Portuguese Cancer League (2020). She has a background in Chemistry also from the UMINHO and during her bachelor studies, she was awarded a Research Integration grant by the FCT. In her graduation year, she visited the University of Pardubice (Czech Republic), sponsored by the Erasmus Program, where she did her bachelor thesis. Alexandra, also holds a Master degree in Medicinal Chemistry (School of Sciences) and Post-Graduation in Health Sciences (School of Medicine), from UMINHO. During this time, she maintained active as a researcher in FCT projects (PTDC/CTM-NAN/119184/2010 and PTDC/QEQ-MED/1671/2012). In 2013, she spent six months as a visiting researcher in the Leiden University Medical Center, sponsored by the Leonardo da Vinci program. In the scope of her PhD studies, she visited the Advanced Science Research Center at the City University of New York for one year, under the supervision of Dr Ulijn and the Department of Radiology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, under the supervision of Dr Lewis, MD with financial support from Fundação Luso-Americana. During her PhD, Alexandra was also involved as a researcher in several research projects, namely FCT projects (Cardio-Heal, Cancer_Cage, OncoNeoTreat and Nature4Health) and H2020 funded projects (Twinning project ¿CHEM2NATURE¿ and ERA Chairs ¿FoReCaST¿), which in total involve 8 academic partners and represent about 6M Euros funded to the UMINHO. Currently, Alexandra is a Post-Doctoral researcher at 3B¿s Research Group (UMINHO). Her current research interests are the use of simple carbohydrate amphiphiles as molecular building blocks for assembly of biofunctional materials using different supramolecular approaches. Alexandra is a member of the European Society of Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society, American Chemical Society, Portuguese Association in Cancer Research and I am member and ambassador of the European Association of Cancer Research. She is author and co-author of 8 full-length papers published in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, 1 book chapter, 3 published conference abstract, 17 oral communications (two of which as an invited speaker) and 23 poster presentations. Besides her scientific activities, Alexandra also participated in different dissemination and outreach activities: poster judge at the Westchester Science and Engineering Fair (USA); member of conference organizing committees; participation in the annual presentation of UMINHO to students and general public; participation in the Science Through Our Lives (STOL) project, which organizes science communication events to general society; and creator and member of the soft skills program PhDynamics, formed by the PhD students at 3B's Research Group.
