I hold a degree in Biochemistry from the University of Porto (2021) and have since pursued further studies in the Master’s program in Biomedical Research, a joint collaboration between the IMM-JLA Institute and the Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon (2023). Presently, I am associated with the Inflammation at the nervous system interfaces (INSI) team at the ICVS under the supervision of Dr. Claudia Nobrega. Our current project focuses on the characterization of the mechanisms underlying the decreased blood counts of memory T cells in individuals with recently diagnosed relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS).
I am a highly-dedicated student looking to develop my theoretical and practical laboratory skills in the field of immunology. My aim is to become capable of producing high-quality research and contributing to the scientific field. Specifically, I would like to one day develop research that is capable of providing aid or lead to breakthroughs within a clinical setting.
