With a background in biotechnology, my research has been centered on the development of biomaterials for regenerative purposes and in vitro models of disease. In 2021, I finished the PhD in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells, in which was deeply focused on the development of ECM (decellularized)-based materials for renal regeneration. Throughout my scientific career, I performed three working periods abroad, the first at the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), the second at the University of Florence (Italy), and more recently, in 2023, at the University of Maastricht (Netherlands). I have 12 first-author publications in international peer-reviewed journals and 8 oral communications/invited talks in international conferences/workshops. I currently mentor and supervise 8 students in the lab, all of them working with different 3D printing strategies. Last year, 2 of these students were granted PhD scholarships (FCT call) to pursue their studies in biofabrication, under my co-supervision. Currently, I am working on the H2020 InterLynk project, to develop new design and fabrication methodologies for bioactive scaffolds aiming at multi-tissue regeneration. I have also been granted a scientific employment stimulus contract last year (CEECIND, FCT) with the project TISSUES2GO, aiming at developing a versatile/scale-up tool for designing tissue-specific inks for 3D bioprinting technology.
