Diana Santos completed her Biology degree at the University of Aveiro in 2016, after an internship in Spain under the Erasmus+ programme, in collaboration with the Center for Research in Molecular Medicine and Chronic Diseases (CiMUS). In 2018, Diana completed her master degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology, with a thesis entitled "Epicardial Adipose Tissue Biology" at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology, at the University of Coimbra. In addition, in 2018, Diana received an Albert Renold Travel Fellowship supported by European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes (EFSD). In 2019, Diana was awarded a PhD fellowship from the Foundation for Science and Technology and started her PhD with the focus on Epicardial adipose tissue microRNAs. Diana is the first author and co-author of several oral and poster presentations in national and international conferences.
