Catarina Roma-Rodrigues is a assistant professor at Engineering faculty of Universidade Lusófona de Lisboa. She completed her PhD in Biotechnology at the Universidade de Lisboa Instituto Superior Técnico, Msc in Biotechnology (Biochemical Engineering) at the same university, and her Bsc in Biochemistry at the Universidade de Lisboa Faculdade de Ciências. Her work as Postdoc at Unidade de Ciências Biomoleculares aplicadas in Nova School of Sciences and Technology was mainly focused on the role of exosomes in the modulation of the tumor microenvironment, and in the biologic effect of compounds with chemotherapeutic potential on tumor cells. She published 68 articles in peer-reviewed international journals, being cited 2,467 times (without self-citations), and having a h-index of 23, being considered as the top 2% tier of world's scientists since 2022 (DOI:10.17632/btchxktzyw.5) . Organized two events and participated in the scientific committee of 2 events. Supervised 5 MSc dissertations and 2 works of course completion of BSc. She participated as a PhD Student Fellow in 1 project, a Post-doc Fellow in 3 projects, a Principal Investigator in 1 project, a Research Fellow in 3 projects, and a Researcher in 3 projects. She has experience in higher education at several academic institutions, including Nova school of sciences and technologies, Lusofona university and Egas Moniz school of health and science.
