I am a Biomedical Scientist and I obtained my master degree at Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical - Universidade Nova de Lisboa. I had the first contact with flow cytometry during the time that I spent working as research technician in different projects about the characterization of internalization of classic antileishmanial drugs and new compounds by macrophages infected with Leishmania spp. In 2015 I started has technician at the Flow Cytometry Facility at Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes (iMM) and in 2016 I moved to Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia (IGC) to work as a Flow Cytometry Research Support Specialist. In 2019 I ambraced a new challenge and I moved to Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin where I set up the Benjamin Franklin Flow Cytometry Facility and currently I have manager responsabilities.
