My name is Sofia Granja and I hold BSc degree in Applied Biology (2012-2015) and a MSc in Molecular Genetics (2015-2018), both by the University of Minho. Being integrated in 5 different research groups for the last 11 years, enhanced my team spirit and cooperation skills, which in turn increased my capacity of adaptation to different environments.In 2017 I also did an internship at the International Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) allowing the first contact with food samples and detection of pathogens. Currently I'm at the School of Archaeology in University of Oxford, and I am integrated into the Palaeogenomics & Bio-Archaeology Research Network Laboratory (PalaeoBarn). I am working on a wide range of genetic questions, mostly concerning the origins of Easter and rabbit domestication. This visit appears in the context of a recently established collaboration between CIBIO Institute (Portugal) and the PalaeoBarn.
