Joana Carrapiço Gonçalves completed her Integrated Master's Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2014 and her PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, specializing in Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy, at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Coimbra in 2022. Her research focused on the intranasal administration of centrally acting drugs, the identification of BCRP modelers through in vitro studies, and the development and validation of HPLC analytical quantification techniques. In the period between submitting her thesis and taking her doctoral exams, she worked as a hospital pharmacist, with a view to acquiring skills and experience in clinical practice, in addition to the three years she spent working in community pharmacy. She currently works as an assistant professor at Lusófona University, teaching Pharmacotherapy, Pharmacokinetics, Non-Prescription Pharmacotherapy, Pharmaceutical Communication and Practice, Functional Anatomy, Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Physiology. He maintains the legacy of scientific research and is starting to join the CBIOS group. The acquisition of new knowledge, with medicine and pathology as its purpose, is his main purpose.
