I hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences, awarded in 2014 by the Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar (ICBAS), University of Porto, where I currently serve as an Assistant Professor. My research experience includes collaborations with biopharmaceutical companies and contributions to projects conducted by the Laboratory of Pharmacology and Neurobiology, investigating neuromuscular transmission in autoimmune disorders such as myasthenia gravis. My current research focuses on the role of purinergic signalling in the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells and the development of innovative cell-based therapies for bone loss disorders.
