Biography

I have a BSc in Molecular and Cellular Biology (2017) and a MSc in Biotechnology (2019) both from FCT-UNL. Currently I am taking my PhD focusing on optimizing dual AAV vector infection strategies in order to decrease vector dose in clinical administration. I am working in Instituto de Biologia Experimental e Tecnológica (iBET,Oeiras) in the Cell Line Development and Molecular Biotechnology group. The group focus on the development of novel viral vectors for gene therapy as well as tools for their research and manufacture. In this context, I have acquired transversal knowledge in viral vector production and engineering, cell line development and viral characterization platforms. I am interested in developing new knowledge and looking for innovative solutions in the scope of viral vector engineering and gene therapy. I am also intrigued by the management field in association with biotechnology and how this merge can improve my professional skills.
