Education

I am a PhD student from University of Porto, Portugal and I joined Professor David Mooney’s lab in April, 2005. My PhD studies started in 2004 at INEB – Instituto de Engenharia Biomédica, Porto, Portugal, with Dr. Pedro Granja.

Previously to enrolling in the PhD program I was a Research Assistant in the “DISC-Novel Intervertebral Disc Prostheses”, an European Project since 2002 up to 2004.

I made a Post-Graduation in Biomedical Engineering, University of Porto, 2003.

My Biology degree was held in University of Porto, at the Faculty of Sciences of that city in Portugal in May 2002.

Research Focus

My main focus is the study of the interactions between endothelial cells and bone precursor cells in the context of bone regeneration.
