I am currently a PhD student at the NoPain Research Group of the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), exploring the cellular, molecular, and electrophysiological changes to the brainstem induced by experimental osteoarthritis. Graduated in Biochemistry (Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto) in 2017, during which was involved in a project with a special focus on the development of new epileptogenesis makers through molecular biology techniques at the UMIB - Unit for Multidisciplinary Research in Biomedicine of the University of Porto. In 2019, concluded an MSc in Health Sciences (School of Medicine of the University of Minho) with a dissertation focused on sex-specific differences in neuropathic pain development. Continued at ICVS as a research fellow, focusing on the pharmacological testing of novel drugs in the control of pain and comorbid emotional impairments. Published a total of 8 peer-reviewed papers, with an accumulated impact factor in 2024 of 39.8 (average impact factor of 5.0; ISI h-index=4).
