Marta Viana-Pereira graduated in Applied Biology at University of Minho, School of Sciences in 2005. Started working on Cancer Research in 2006, at School of Medicine/Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), University of Minho. In 2007 started her PhD, granted a fellowship from FCT (Ref: SFRH/BD/29145/2006), with the title “Molecular Genetics of Paediatric versus Adult Brain Tumours”, at School of Medicine/ICVS, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal and Institute of Cancer Research, London, UK (Supervisors: Rui Manuel Reis, University of Minho and Dr. Chris Jones, Institute of Cancer Research). In 2011, post-doctoral fellow at ICVS/UMinho (supervision of Rui Manuel Reis), on “Identification of novel target genes in microsatellite-unstable brain tumours”. In 2019 Junior Researcher at ICVS/UMinho working on the project “Deciphering the tumorigenic role of the tumour suppressor gene SPINT2 in solid tumours”. In 2019 completed the Master Degree in Medicine at Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar (ICBAS), University of Porto, Portugal. In 2021 started Residency in Medical Oncology at Hospital de Braga, Portugal. Her expertise in cancer research focused on genetic instability and cancer biomarkers, mostly on brain tumors and melanoma, but overall, across distinct tumor types, having acquired broad experience in the Oncobiology research field.
