Sandra Barata Antunes completed her MSc in Biomedical Science from the University of Beira Interior in 2016. Her MSc work consisted in the study of the role of histamine on the modulation of hippocampal inflammation and neurogenesis in adult mice. Currently, she is finishing her PhD in Applied Health Sciences at Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS, School of Medicine, University of Minho) and in collaboration with International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL). Her research work is focused on the development of nanosystems for the delivery of cellular secretome in the context of Parkinson’s Disease. She has also collaborated in other projects in the field of Neurosciences, enrolled in a multidisciplinary team, which resulted in papers published in international peer-reviewed journals.
