プロフィール概要

Dynamic and motivated biophysicist (Ph.D.) with over 12 years of experience in molecular biophysics, passionate about understanding cell aging and age-associated biomechanical deterioration. Prepared 12 R&D proposals for Portuguese and European funds e.g., Horizon 2020 Pilar 1 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action and Hop-On EIC Pathfinder. Managed and implemented 3 R&D projects and participated in a total of 10 collaborative projects across Europe. In particular, I was awarded and led a prestigious European Marie Curie grant to implement my own research. Proactive, with a strong ability to work autonomously within a team, in a multi-disciplinary and fast-paced environment, applying my excellent organisational, communication, self-management and interpersonal skills.
