For my bachelor’s degree, I completed the course of Biomedical Sciences at the Federal University of São Paulo. In the third year of this course, I was awarded a scholarship from the Brazilian government to complete an exchange year at the University of Sheffield. When returning, I completed my bachelor thesis with Prof Patricia Beltrão Braga, in which I developed a 3D model of the developing brain using iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells. To carry on with my interest in neuroscience, I was thrilled to receive the Goethe Goes Global scholarship to complete a master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Neuroscience at the Goethe University of Frankfurt. My master thesis with Dr Julia Ladewig involved optimising protocols to derive forebrain organoids from iPSCs.

I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences at Queen Mary, University of London. Whilst there, I did my final year dissertation at William Harvey Research Institute on exploring the process of ubiquitination on the NF-κB activation downstream of TLR7 signalling. I joined an MRes in Cancer Biology at Imperial College London to acquire more diverse laboratory skills. For my first master rotation at the Francis Crick Institute, I had the opportunity to work with CyTOF and imaging mass cytometry to investigate the immune profile of Kras driven lung tumours from mice. Along with the design of an antibody panel and the optimisation of the protocol, I learned the use of current softwares and developed image analysis pipelines.

I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry with a Year in Industry at the University of Leeds. During this time, I spent a year working in the Investigative Toxicology group at UCB BIoPharma in Belgium exploring novel biomarkers of drug-induced kidney injury for toxicity assessments. I then completed my undergraduate thesis project in the lab of Alan Berry working on structural studies to uncover the crystal structure of IdmH, a putative polyketide cyclase and an enzymatic component of the NRPS/PKS system which generates the antibiotic indanomycin.

I completed a MSci in Genetics at University College London. I then spent two and a half years working as a research technician in Dr Filipe Cabreiro’s microbiology-metabolism lab, exploring the three-way host-microbiome-environment relationship, using a C. elegans model.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Bath. During my degree, I undertook a placement year to research novel autophagy adaptor proteins in redox homeostasis under Professor Luo at the Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry. When I returned to Bath for my final year, I joined Professor Tosh’s lab where I was involved in the characterization of novel transcription factors associated with transdifferentiation events that occur in Barrett’s Oesophagus disease.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Molecular Medicine and a master’s degree in Biochemistry and Biophysics at the Albrecht Ludwig University of Freiburg.

I obtained my bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science at the University of Sheffield where I also completed a project at the Centre for Stem Cell Biology during a Wellcome Trust funded placement. Following my degree I worked for Axol Bioscience, a biotech start-up specialising in iPSC culture and differentiation, and Charles River, a contract research organisation which provides many services for the development of pharmaceuticals.

I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences with a Year in Industry at Imperial College London. During my third year of this degree, I completed an Industrial Placement in the Allergic Inflammation Discovery Performance Unit at GlaxoSmithKline in Stevenage.

I completed a BSc in Biological Sciences at Imperial College London, with a year in Industry where I worked in R&D at GlaxoSmithKline in Stevenage.

I completed my undergraduate degree in developmental biology (MSci) at the University of Manchester, where I worked with Professor Sue Kimber to develop iPSC models of rare skeletal disorders. During this time, I also undertook a BBSRC funded studentship to investigate wound healing in diabetes.

I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of York, graduating with a BSc Biochemistry degree. During my bachelor's degree, I gained research experience by participating in the iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) competition as a member of the team representing my university. I spent the third year of my four-year degree on an industrial placement at the Earlham Institute, improving my knowledge of bioinformatics and learning more about gene expression analysis and tissue culture.

I completed my undergraduate and master’s degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology at the University of Milan (Italy). During my BSc I examined the molecular mechanisms of stress in the development of depression (University of Milan). During my MSc my work focused on the crystallisation of a Dengue virus protein for drug discovery purposes (internship at University College London). After graduating, I enrolled in the ORISE post-bac fellowship program at the National Institutes of Health (USA) where I worked on a basic cell biology project, looking at the interplay between structure and function of the endoplasmic reticulum.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Developmental Biology at the University of Manchester, where I developed an interest in the role of physical cues in regulating cell fate. I then spent a year working as a publishing assistant at the Nature Publishing Group. Finally, I studied for an MPhil in Biological Sciences at the University of Cambridge, during which I further pursued my interest in the cellular interactions that occur in response to injury using a mouse model that allows for lineage tracing of a specific pulmonary mesenchymal cell type.

I obtained a MSci in Biochemistry (with Immunology) from University of Aberdeen with a year in industry at GlaxoSmithKline, Stevenage, UK. As part of an Aberdeen university team, I participated in the international Genetically Engineered Machine Competition at MIT, USA, where scientists across the world present innovative projects to address worldwide problems through synthetic biology. Our project aimed to develop an E. coli-based system to detect infections with the Trypanosoma parasite for people living in underprivileged rural places in Africa.

I completed my undergraduate studies in Life Sciences in the Netherlands, where I was lucky enough to work as an intern in both the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam and Utrecht University Medical Centre. I obtained various experiences in cell and molecular biology and discovered my interest in stem cells while working in Utrecht on the stem cell marker Lgr5.

I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology with a focus on neuroscience at Harvard University (Cambridge, USA). I then spent two years working as a research assistant and a teaching fellow at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute.

While obtaining my Honours degree in Molecular Genetics at the University of Edinburgh, I spent half a year in Uppsala University in an ERASMUS exchange programme, and a year in industry working at Eli Lilly. I spent most of my summers doing internships in labs in Edinburgh, as well as in ETH (Zurich) as part of a research programme organized by Amgen.

I have a BSc in ‘Biomedical Engineering’ and a MSc. in ‘Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine’ from the University of Applied Sciences Technikum in Vienna, Austria.
