Marta Martins (MBM) is currently a Pharmacist and has recently graduated in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Integrated Master's) from Universidade Lusófona - Centro Universitário de Lisboa, with a dissertation in Nanotechnology and Drug Delivery Systems. During her MSc, she began her scientific research on the development and characterisation of hybrid vesicular nanoparticles, combining ionic liquids with transfersomes, for loading poorly water-soluble bioactives, a topic that she further explored in her MSc dissertation entitled "Hybrid Ionic Liquids-Transfersomes for Cutaneous Delivery of Caffeic Acid." Thanks to these research opportunities, MBM is the author and co-author of several oral and poster presentations at national and international conferences. Her research interests focus on hybrid drug delivery systems. Throughout her academic journey, MBM has also been actively involved in the Associação de Estudantes de Ciências Farmacêuticas da Universidade Lusófona (AECFUL) and the Associação Portuguesa de Estudantes de Farmácia (APEF), as a member of the Directive Board in both associations. She has also participated in a number of scientific outreach activities, as well as, organised and/or collaborated in the organisation of several social/scientific events and conferences. MBM was recently awarded a research grant to join an FCT-funded project entitled "Enhancing Medication Adherence in Portugal: Implementation of Mobili®, an eHealth Medicine Dispensing Solution for Multimorbidity Patients.”.
