I received my Integrated Master’s Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Coimbra (FFUC) in 2019 and I’m currently a PhD student in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the same institution. I’m developing my work, which is related to the study of circadian rhythms and neurodegenerative diseases, at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (CNC). I’m a member of 2 research groups at CNC (Neuroendocrinology and Aging Group; Vectors and Gene Therapy Group). In the context of my PhD, I’m also part of the EIT Health Ageing PhD School. In 2023, I received an EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant to work in the research group of Prof. Giorgio Colombo at the Department of Chemistry, University of Pavia, Italy. As a PhD student, I’m the first author of 4 publications in peer-reviewed international journals, have been involved in several funded national and international projects, and participated in diverse activities of science communication. Since 2024, I’m an Invited Assistant Professor at FFUC, teaching various subjects within the laboratory of Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Care while also collaborating with the laboratory of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. I have some previous professional experience in the pharmaceutical industry field, particularly in Medical Affairs and R&D. In 2018, as part of an internship in the Pharmaceutical Chemistry laboratory at FFUC, I received the award for best oral presentation in basic science at the AstraZeneca Foundation Innovate Competition of the internationally prestigious iMed Conference® 10.0 (Lisbon, Portugal). Between 2017 and 2019, I was a student representative in the Senate of the University of Coimbra and an Editorial Board Member of the Coimbra University Press.
