Short Bio:
Nuno Bernardes is a Researcher in Biosciences and Bioengineering. Nuno holds a MSc in Biological Engineering (2008) and a PhD in Biotechnology (2013). His work is focused on: i) protein- and peptide-based strategies to enhance tumor-targeted delivery of nanosized drug delivery systems, and (ii) engineered cell-based therapies for cancer with clinically relevant therapeutic cells. Currently, Nuno is exploring different technical approaches and 3D cellular models to increase therapeutic efficacies by studying peptide-cell interactions in the tumor microenvironment which can improve the release of cargoes from the carriers and modulate the communication of cancer cells with their microenvironment.
