Porto, Portugal

Continuing work and deepening knowledge and skills in antibody discovery and engineering projects, with added responsibilities. - Exploring naive and engineering phage display libraries- Working in projects with more demanding success criteria (e.g. function and specificity)- Project reponsible, including planning and design of experiments - Client direct communication and reporting- Training and direct supervision of junior team members- Optimization and implementation of new equipment

Porto, Portugal

Researcher at the Discovery and Engineering Division at FJB, a world leading CRO of top pharmaceutical and biotech companies.Working in the discovery, engineering and characterisation of antibodies for several applications (therapeutics, diagnostics, imaging, research). - Antibody discovery using phage display technology with several antibody formats (Fabs, IgGs, scFv and VHH) from different species (human, llama, rodent) - Involved in phage display library construction (immune and affinity maturation libraries)- Intensive experience in phage display selections (in-solution, panning and cell selections)- Hits screening and posterior leads characterization via ELISA, SPR, flow cytometry- Work under the company standard operating procedures and documentation - Work in a team and participating in simultaneous confidential projects from external clients, under strict project timelines- Communication and data presentation/reporting to clients- Optimization of QA documentation (templates, SOPs)

Porto E Região, Portugal

Research fellow under the scope of the project “NewCat – New biomaterials to prevent infection associated with dialysis catheters“.Developed new polymer/graphene-based materials (GBMs) composites and coatings, evaluated their improved antibacterial activity and biocompatibility, giving continuity to the work previously initiated during the master thesis.

Porto Area, Portugal

Development of my master thesis research project entitled "Antimicrobial Biomaterials for use as Dialysis Catheters". This project was developed in collaboration between i3S and LEPABE, focusing in the production of new biomaterials by combining a polymer (polyurethane) with graphene-based materials (GBMs), testing different production strategies, and evaluating their antimicrobial properties.This project marked the beginning of a new line of research in i3S.

Porto, Portugal

Edinburgh, Reino Unido

In the scope of ERASMUS+ Program, at the Centres for Regenerative Medicine & Clinical Brain Sciences, Chancellor’s Building in collaboration with a research group from the School of Chemistry of the University of Edinburgh.Develop a research project entitled "hESC growth support potential of hydrogel HG21 spots". The work comprised fabrication of microarrays of a thermoresponsive hydrogel and testing for culture of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).
