Cátia Correia has a BSc in Biochemistry and a Master’s degree in Neurosciences at the University of Lisbon. Currently, she is a PhD student in the Doctoral Program on Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine, and Stem Cells at the Research Institute on Biomaterials, Biodegradables and Biomimetics (3B’s Research Group) of the University of Minho. Her research is mainly focused on the development of new bioadhesive materials derived from natural biomaterials, including marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan, combined with catechol groups for application in spinal cord injury treatment. Her expertise shines in the culture and differentiation of distinct neuronal cells, as well as in advanced cellular imaging techniques, including confocal microscopy, which are relevant competencies for this project. During her PhD, she has been involved in the mechanical characterization of biomaterials with different structures, acquiring expertise on different mechanical instruments such as Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Universal testing machines, and rheometer. She has also dedicated her time to providing mentorship and guidance to master students of the institute. Throughout her career, she has been actively engaged in nearly 9 scientific productions, contributing to specialized journals, both as an author and co-author.
