Carolina F. Rodrigues obtained her BSc (score: 15 out of 20; 2016) and MSc (score: 18 out of 20; 2018) degrees in Biomedical Sciences from UBI, having received a merit scholarship related to her master's degree. In May of 2024 she completed the Ph.D. in Biomedicine at UBI with the highest grade (Excellent). In 2019, she was awarded with a Santander Totta/UBI scholarship (10 months) followed by a PhD fellowship from FCT (4 years) at the end of 2019. During this period, she development gold core silica shell nanoparticles with novel surface modifications to improve their application in chemo-photothermal combinatorial treatment of cancer. So far, Carolina F. Rodrigues is the author and co-author of 20 research articles published in peer-reviewed journals, co-author of 2 book chapters, and 12 conference posters. During is PhD, co-supervised 5 MSc and 3 BSc, and she was de main examiner of 3 BSc projects. Lectured practical and theoretical-practical classes to BSc/MSc degrees at UBI on the subjects of Biochemistry II, Biomaterials, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Chemistry II, and Tissue Engineering. She was also a member of the PhD Student Committee, which organized two international congresses in Health Sciences in 2019 and 2023. During her MSc, she also participated in 6 entrepreneurship and business ideas competitions, receiving 1 award. Carolina F. Rodrigues works in the area of Medical and Health Sciences with an emphasis on Medical Biotechnology and Biomaterials. Specifically, her research work has been focused on the development of NIR light-responsive gold-core silica shell nanoparticles for the chemo-photothermal combinatorial treatment of cancer.
