I'm currently a MSc student in Health Sciences at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS) at University of Minho. I have a BSc in Genetics and Biotechnology completed in University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD) in 2022, with a final project on the effects of (S)-amphetamine in the embryonic development and behaviour of zebrafish. I executed a laboratory rotation throughout my initial year as a master’s student, centered on the RKIP protein as a prostate cancer biomarker. Presently I'm working on my master thesis focused on RKIP regulated miRNAs in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST).
