Position
Researcher

I completed the Integrated Masters in Bioengineering (major in Biomedical Engineering) at FEUP in the year 2014, with the master thesis entitled “Development of multifunctional solid lipid nanoparticles for theranostic applications in rheumatoid arthritis”, under the supervision of professors Bruno Sarmento and Salette Reis. In 2015 I began my PhD in a corporate environment in the Animal Science doctoral program at ICBAS, entitled “From mouth to mammary gland: a nanotechnology application in dairy cow nutrition for targeted lysine delivery”, which was defended in September 2020. Since 2014 I have published three original papers in peer reviewed journals, three book chapters and presented my works in over twenty scientific congresses.
