Sofia Cravino Serra has a BSc in Biochemistry, obtained from the University of Coimbra. She is currently working at the ReNEU team of the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), at the University of Minho, where she is developing her research focused on the influence of cell passaging in the effects of mesenchymal stem cells secretome in neural populations. She also collaborates in other projects involving the use of secretome. From the work developed under this scope, 19 peer-reviewed publications in co-authorship have already been produced, as well as 2 book chapters. In addition, several poster communications about these works have been presented to the scientific community in different conferences. She has also been involved in the organization of several workshops and conferences.

WO/2021/198909, Compositions for treatment of spinal cord injury, methods and uses thereof
This project dedicates to fundamental research to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) pathophysiology.
In the context of PD, we focus on addressing how…
Recent advances in the field of electronics, miniaturisation and microfabrication and a deeper understanding of the interface between physics and living matter for sensing and neural stimulation allow us to develop new…
The remarkable advances in molecular biology in the past decades have led to a better understanding of the mechanisms implicated in the pathophysiology of many CNS disorders as well as mechanisms that control axonal regeneration…
We have previously validated the use of the secretome of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) from different sources, including those derived from pluripotent stem cells (iMSCs), as a possible therapeutic tool in animal…
