What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can contribute to innovative research and grow professionally.

I am a proactive and dedicated professional with a Master's degree in Oncology from the University of Porto, where I focused on the impact of glycosylation on macrophage polarization in tumor progression. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in biochemistry and experimental pathology, allowing me to contribute effectively to impactful research projects.

Currently, I am a research trainee at the Portuguese Institute of Oncology, where I engage in advanced research involving mammalian cell culture, protein extraction, and immunology. My experience includes developing technical proficiency in molecular biology techniques and collaborating in multidisciplinary teams to tackle complex challenges. I am passionate about continuous learning and innovation in the healthcare field, believing that teamwork and communication drive success.
