Curriculum Vitae

Filipa Amaro

Filipa Amaro is a biochemist with BSc and MSc degrees in Biochemistry, currently a PhD student in Pharmaceutical Sciences (specialty-Toxicology) in the Faculty of Pharmacy-University of Porto. Her research focuses on the identification of predictive biomarkers of therapeutic response for personalized medicine in urological cancers. Throughout her academic career, Filipa has improved her skills in cell culture techniques and gained expertise in analytical techniques such as GC-MS and NMR. To further improve her abilities in data processing and statistical analysis, she completed three accredited courses in Python programming, SQL database management, and data analysis using R at the Faculty of Sciences - University of Porto. Filipa has actively participated in various scientific projects, including a master’s grant-funded project entitled “ACCuseD - Renal Cancer Detection: A Translational Metabolomics Research Based on Volatile Organic Compounds Fingerprinting”. She is the first author of several original peer-reviewed papers and co-author of more others. She has also presented her work at prestigious national and international conferences through both oral and poster presentations. Furthermore, Filipa has practical experience in volatile analysis, collaborating with Amorim Cork SA in the analysis of customers' wines using GC-MS. She also carried out external analyses of various samples, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. Filipa has also contributed to teaching activities by assisting in the preparation of classes for first and second cycle courses at the Faculty of Pharmacy-University of Porto.
