I’m a PhD student in Medical Chemistry, developing bioconjugates for photodynamic cardiomyocyte ablation, with a strong academic and research background from the University of Coimbra, where I graduated at the top of my class and received multiple awards for academic excellence. My research has primarily focused on photochemistry, microbiology, and materials synthesis, including developing photosensitive materials for bacterial photoinactivation.I’m passionate about scientific outreach, actively participating in Molecular Junior Enterprise, where I engage in podcasts, seminars, and high school outreach initiatives.
