Ph.D. Student in Molecular Biology at Universidade Nova de Lisboa (ITQB) and Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) - Portugal. Masters in Cell Biology (2018), by Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (Brazil), demonstrates the liver response to infection in different stages of mice development. Master's work was published in the Journal of Hepatology (Impact Factor 15). Research Assistant at the IGC between 2018/2019 as a member of the Membrane Traffic Lab. Supported by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) Individual Fellowship (SFRH/BD/144960/2019.) and La Caixa Foundation (La Caixa Healthcare Grant HR17- 00595). FEBS Poster Prize - Annual Meeting of Cost Action - ProteoCure 2022, in Slovenia. ITC Conference grant - COST Action (E-COST-GRANT-CA20113). In my professional activities, I interacted with 84 collaborators in co-authorship in scientific papers.
