Ever since I can remember, I always saw myself developing scientific experiments that could bring progress to humanity and improve societies¿ healthcare. Therefore, I pursued my studies in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the New University of Lisbon (FCT-NOVA), having concluded my Master of Science Degree in 2019 with a final score of 16 out of 20. During my 5-year course, I was co-author of a scientific paper that was published in the ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Journal (7.632 Impact Factor and Q1 in Chemical Engineering). This paper was developed from a summer internship I experienced under the scope of the RL1 - ABMR project. I also had my very first contact with teaching, working as monitor of a course given to all 1st-year students at my University. My taste for new experiences made me apply to the ERASMUS+ Program, where I travelled to England for 6 months to do my master thesis in Tissue Engineering, which I successfully defended with a final score of 18 out of 20. From January 2020 till earlier this year, I worked as a Junior Research Fellow at the Stem Cell Bioengineering Laboratory in iBET (Oeiras), where my work focused on optimizing a 3D differentiation protocol to produce high yields of functional cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). I made this work under the scope of the BRAVE European Project and MetaCardio, an FCT funded research project. My passion for the Tissue Engineering field made me embark on a new journey as a PhD student at the 3B's Research Group in Biomaterials, Biodegradables and Biomimetics from the University of Minho. My PhD work will focus on some of the goals established within the ECM_INK project. I intend now to deepen my knowledge in biomaterials and regenerative medicine and grow as a future bioengineer to solve some of the most relevant worldwide health problems.
