Marta Raquel Lima Ferreira has a BCs in Biomedical Science (2020) from the University of Algarve and a Master's degree in Biomedical Science - Disease Mechanisms (2023) by the University of Algarve. Marta´s thesis was focused on studying the potential effect of a combined administration of Baclofen with Pregabalin as a potential therapy for spinal cord injury. Her thesis was important for Marta to develop skills in in vivo spinal cord injury models, pharmacology, immunohistochemistry and microscopy. Currently, under the supervision of Nuno Silva, Marta is studying the therapeutic potential of molecules produced by pro-regenerative macrophages in the field of spinal cord injury. Marta's main interest is in regenerative medicine of the central nervous system, particularly in the study of multidisciplinary approaches that may contribute to the treatment of spinal cord injuries.
