Currently, I am a PhD fellow at the research group "Process and Product Applied Thermodynamics" (PATh), CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro (UA), Portugal. My research activities are mostly focused on the the development of a cost-effective and scalable platform for the downstream processing (purification) of L-Asparaginase (LA), an enzyme used as a biopharmaceutical in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). I've been a research fellow at the research group "Catalysis and carbon materials" (LSRE-LCM), Department of Chemical Engineering - Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), Portugal. My research activities were mainly on the development of sustainable nanomaterials for the purification of antileukemic drugs. Furthermore, I've also been a research fellow at the research group "Biomedical and biomimetic materials" (PATh), CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials, UA, Portugal. My research activities were mainly on purification of high value proteins (biopharmaceuticals) using nanomaterials. Finished my BSc degree in Nursing at UA, Portugal, in 2015. In 2016, worked for a short period of time as a nurse, in Royal Berkshire Hospital (Reading, United Kingdom). Obtained my MSc degree in Molecular Biomedicine from UA, Portugal, in 2018. My scientific research resulted in 5 journal-articles, 3 book-chapters, 10 posters and 9 oral presentations in symposiums, meetings and conferences.
