Mafalda Rodrigues Luis Correia completed the Integrated Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences (PharmD, MSc) at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Coimbra (FFUC) in 2022 and was part of the Merit Board of the Top 5% students of the University of Coimbra in that same year. Throughout her academic path, Mafalda always demonstrated a strong will to learn and a passion and curiosity for scientific research. Therefore, other than a curricular and two extracurricular internships in Community Pharmacy (PT), she performed an extracurricular research internship in the area of Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology at FFUC and a curricular internship at the pharmaceutical industry Bluepharma in the Analytical Development Department (PT). Also, during her studies, with the aim of improving her communication, language, intercultural, and soft skills, she did a 6-month study mobility, funded by the Erasmus+ program at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Charles University (CZ) and participated in the Student Exchange Program at the Faculty of Pharmacy at Semmelweis University (HU), where she did a short-term research internship. To complement her academic work, Mafalda participated in volunteering projects, such as the initiative “Voluntários por um sorriso” and was a member of the FFUC’s pedagogic council and of the Pharmacy Students' Association at the University of Coimbra. To conclude her Master’s degree, Mafalda presented her Master's dissertation thesis in the area of Pharmaceutical Tecnhnology, entitled "Hair follicle regeneration nanotechnology-based strategies", which was evaluated with 19/20 values. This work contributed to a review article, in which she is the first author, published in the Top 5% scientific journal Biomaterials (IF: 14.0) and distinguished by the University of Coimbra in the Publications@UC web page. After graduating and with the goal of continuing her research path, she did a 6-month research internship funded by the Erasmus+ program in the DrugBiop Lab. at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Valencia (ES), where she developed and characterized lipid nanoparticles and microneedles for topical application. Since 2023, Mafalda has been a research fellow at FFUC under the PTDC/BTM-MAT/4738/2020 project, where she actively participates in the development of biomimetic nanosystems for pancreatic cancer treatment. Mafalda is also a researcher of REQUIMTE/LAQV and has started an Invited Assistant position at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Coimbra, where she teaches Pharmaceutical Technology and Galenic Pharmacy. Recently, she concluded a postgraduate course on animal experimentation (FELASA Category B). Mafalda has published 2 journal articles, 2 conference posters and 1 conference paper. Mafalda is an extremely motivated, proactive, adaptable, and hard-working professional. Mafalda's scientific research interests are focused on nanotechnology, materials engineering and tissue regeneration, especially in innovative technological strategies for chronic wound healing.
