Bio

In 2014 I have graduated in Bioengineering (MIB) with the specialization in Molecular Biotechnology, from the University of Porto, Portugal. From 2015-2018 I was part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions ITN “MICACT” to work on the integration of the EAP (Electroactive Polymers) technology for tissue engineering applications. In this context, I did her PhD studies at the University of Pisa, in the research center ‘E. Piaggio’, while being a high-level apprentice at IVTech – a start-up company focused on the production of systems for the refinement of the in vitro models. I am currently a research assistant at the research center ‘E.Piaggio’, working on the development of physiologically scaled devices for biomedical applications.
