Rosa graduated in Biomedical Engineering (Integrated Master Degree) from the University of Minho in October 2022. During her 5-years course, she did three summer internships in different research fields. The first internship was at BH4U, where she developed a bioproduct for diapers to prevent babies’ skin from burning. The following internships were granted by FCT and developed at University of Minho departments of DEM, with the aim to develop transparent masks for COVID-19, and ALGORITMI, where she developed numeric models of organs-on-chip to study the flow behavior through ANSYS computational fluid dynamics simulation. She also attended additional courses namely: “i9MASKS” at University of Minho, the “Clinical Research for Researchers: from regulation to practice” by the Clinical Academic Center of Braga (2CA Braga), the “Advanced Course in Biomedical Imaging” from the UT Austin Portugal Program, in partnership with University of Coimbra and the University of TEXAS, "Overcoming specific weaknesses in tendon biology to design advanced regenerative therapies", held at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany, the “Advanced Studies in Immunology”, “Statistics Applied to Health Sciences” and the FELASA-accredited course on “Laboratory Animal Science” by the post-graduation unit of Medicine School, University of Minho. Her master thesis was developed under the supervision of Prof. Manuela Gomes and Dr. Rui Domingues at the 3B's Research Group - I3Bs Institute, and her work focused on the development of 3D in vitro models of human tendon by combining bioprinting technology with tendon decellularized extracellular matrix and a fibrillar support matrix platform based on Cellulose Nanocrystals. She also presented her work in several international conferences like the Final Achilles Conference, where she was awarded as the Best Short Oral Presentation, TERMIS-EU 2023, EORS2023 and TERMIS-EU 2026, and was part of the organizing committee of 3rd Achilles Workshop held in Porto (October 2021), the Final Achilles Conference held at Guimarães (May 2022) and the European Orthopaedic Research Society Meeting (EORS2023), that was held in Porto (September 2023). She is also member of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society - European chapter (TERMIS-EU) and student Member of the European Orthopaedic Research Society (EORS). In 2023 she was awarded the PhD Student Fellow from FCT to conduct the work “3D writing of advanced multicellular tendon-on-chip models to unlock the (patho)physiological signatures of tendon tissues” and is enrolled in the PhD of Biomedicine and Health Sciences from School of Medicine, University of Minho. Currently, she is developing her PhD research under the supervision of Dr. Rui Domingues at INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, and Dr. Alexandra Fraga at ICVS - Life and Health Sciences Research Institute, University of Minho. Her knowledge is focused on the areas of Engineering and Technology, with emphasis on Medical Engineering, Biomaterials, Nanomaterials and Biofabrication technologies, with a special interest for the development of novel organs-on-chip platforms, especially on the field of tendon (patho)physiology.
