Expertise: - Cell culture- Imaging- Cell biology- Tumor microenvironment
Short Bio:
Teresa Mendes is a dedicated researcher in biosciences and bioengineering fields. After completing the Master in Molecular Biology and Genetics from Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (2014), Teresa rapidly found interest in translational research with a background on understanding disease mechanisms. With a growing research interest, Teresa pursued a PhD in Bioengineering, which was finalized in 2021 from Universidade Nova de Lisboa (2021), and focused on precision medicine and 3D disease models for different types of tumors. Currently, Teresa is a post-doc researcher aiming on development of culture systems for diverse cell types envisioning cell therapy applications.
