Rui Filipe Neves Freitas graduated in Biochemistry in 2017 and obtained his Master's degree in clinical Biochemistry in 2019 from the University of Aveiro. During his master, Rui Freitas initiated his studies on cell-surface protein glycosylation, envisaging glycan-based neoantigens. During his Master thesis, as a member of Experimental Pathology and Therapeutics Group (IPO-Porto) and Nanomedicines & Translational Drug Delivery group (INEB), he got familiarized with state-of-the-art glycomics, glycoproteomics, gene editing and nanovaccine development techniques, which are key for future work ambitions. He holds a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the Biomedical Sciences at ICBAS (Porto) obtained in 2024. During his PhD degree, as a member of the Experimental Pathology and Therapeutics Group (IPO-Porto) and Tumour and Microenvironment Interactions (INEB-I3S), he developed a roadmap for the development of anti-tumour glycovaccines, resulting in two anti-bladder cancer glycovaccines candidates. He holds ten high-impact publications in relevant peer-reviewed journals, three of which as first author and two review articles. Currently, he is working as an Associate Scientist in Sanofi at Ghent, Belgium.
