Inês Martins is a dedicated PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Aveiro, with a strong focus on drug delivery systems and the development of biomaterials for neurological regeneration in the context of spinal cord injury. With a Master’s degree completed with distinction—highlighted by a top-graded dissertation on drug-loaded biomaterials for neuronal delivery—Inês combines academic excellence with hands-on research experience. She has held multiple competitive research fellowships, including a project on spinal cord injury at iBiMED, and has contributed to several scientific publications and a patent application (in process) in the field of biocompatible drug delivery systems. Her work has been presented at conferences, and she actively participates in the scientific community by organizing events and contributing to academic committees. Inês demonstrates a multidisciplinary mindset, complemented by a strong foundation in biomedical engineering, a commitment to translational research, and an eagerness to contribute to innovations that bridge fundamental science and clinical applications.
