I am currently in the first year of the PhD in Biomedical Sciences from Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical (IHMT-NOVA), in Lisbon, Portugal. I have a Master’s degree in Medical Microbiology from Universidade Nova de Lisboa (NOVA), concluded in January 2020, and a Bachelor’s degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia (FCT-NOVA), concluded in 2017. My Master’s Dissertation focused on the resistance to biocides and topical antibiotics in Staphylococcus aureus from skin and soft tissue infections. After concluding my Master’s degree I have worked at IHMT-NOVA with a 6-month research grant in a R&D project “and have continued working as a member of this project to the present day.
