Biosketch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I left Portugal at the age of 19 and braved the unknown by enrolling in a BSc programme at Aston University in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Microbiologist turned Biomedical Scientist, I worked for the UK\u2019s National Health Service (NHS) for half a decade before deciding to return to the Portuguese sun to complete an MSc in Biomedical Sciences (specialisation in Molecular Biology in Tropical & International Health) at the Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (IHMT) \u2013 NOVA University Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just before COVID-19 started making headlines, I went back to the UK and joined the fantastic Biosciences and Chemistry technical team at Sheffield Hallam University. This experience was both sweet and short as I was successful in securing my current position as a funded PhD student looking to identify novel therapies for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testimony<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came to iMM in 2018 where I joined Nuno Santos Lab as an external student for my MSc thesis project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things that struck me the most was the fantastic facilities and environment at iMM that not only promoted growth as a student\/researcher but also cultivated this sense of scientific community and friendships amongst iMMers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my year here, not only did I attend conferences and conduct some interesting research with the support of a fabulous team, but also, I made some great friends and definitely caught the \u201cresearch bug\u201d which reinforced my desire to pursue a PhD degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
