Dr. Andreia Patricia Magalhães is a junior postdoctoral researcher in the AmTheNa Lab, within the Health Cluster at INL. Her research is focused on the validation of nanostructured multifunctional materials for biomedical applications, with particular emphasis on cancer theranostics and immunotherapy. Holding a BSc in Biochemistry, MSc in Bioengineering, and a PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Minho, Portugal, she is interested in taking a multidisciplinary approach to nanomedicine from the level of nano–bio interactions between nanoparticles and biological systems. Dr. Magalhães has published 11 articles (55% as first author, 209 citations, 8 h-index value) in top-tier peer reviewed ISI indexed journals and disseminated results in national and international conferences (1 oral and 11 poster communications). Dr. Magalhães has recently been awarded a prestigious Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship by the European Commission.
