Im a biotechnology doctoral student from University of São Paulo (USP, Brazil). Currently, I am fully dedicated in developing a PhD thesis focused on creating a 3D cell culture method for induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). The goal is to establish a new research study model for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), specifically emphysema. It is hoped that this research will lay the groundwork for new treatments and therapeutic strategies for COPD/emphysema, as there is still no definitive cure for this condition.
