Luisa has always been deeply passionate about science, developing a particular interest in female biology and its connection to pregnancy. She gained invaluable experience through her Bachelor's (final grade 17) internship and Master's (final grade 19) thesis, both focused on this field. Under Dr. Bruno M. Fonseca's mentorship – a cherished female reproduction researcher - at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, she contributed as a first author to a publication in an esteemed journal. Luisa has extensive hands-on experience with molecular biology techniques, including PCR, Western Blot, immunohistochemistry, RNA extraction, and cell culture. She also helped to supervise and mentor undergraduate students during her Master's. Dedicated to science communication, she has participated in three editions of IJUP and regularly attends many reproduction conferences, such as WebRePRO and the IVF Worldwide Congress. Currently, she continues her research in the Biochemistry lab at FFUP, furthering her Master's findings on a research fellowship which is granted for a maximum period of 6 months. She is eager to undertake a PhD project titled 'Implication of endogenously produced pro-resolving lipid mediators in the uterine microenvironment: effects on endometrial receptivity.' This research will explore lipid mediators' role in endometrial cell differentiation and conduct a systematic review of RNA-seq data on SPM-associated genes linked to miscarriage. To prepare for this next step, she obtained a certification in Bioconductor-based R programming from Harvard.
