Francisca Correia holds a BSc in Biomedical Sciences (2022) and an MSc in Molecular Biotechnology and Bioengineering (2024) from the University of Aveiro. With a strong interdisciplinary background, she has worked on diverse projects ranging from biomedical education to hydrogel engineering with interconnected micropores, and biofabrication technologies. She developed a patented non-freezable support bath for cryobioprinting during her master thesis at COMPASS RG, under the supervision of Professor João Mano and Professor Vítor Gaspar. Her contributions include 2 peer-reviewed Q1 journal articles, 8 poster presentations, 1 oral communication, 1 conference paper, and 1 book chapter. Currently she is a researcher at Cellularis Biomodels under the Horizon-funded INSPIRE project, where she is focusing on high-throughput biofabrication of unitary lung tumor organoids in superhydrophobic surfaces. Having actively participated in numerous conferences, lectures, and specialized courses, and having taken on various leadership and organizational roles, she has developed complementary skills such as time management and teamwork that, combined with her scientific maturity and ever-curious mindset, can drive her to continuously grow as a scientist and meaningfully contribute to innovative and impactful research.
