"The choice of the Masters in Biotechnology at the New University of Lisbon was particularly important for my career because it opened new horizons. I had contact with various scientific fields, some of them completely new to me such as Management, Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

I have much interest on scientific research, so I decided to apply to the PhD in Bioengineering, MIT-Portugal programme. At the moment I'm working on the research work leading to the completion of my doctoral thesis in the area of bioseparation and Nanotechnology. "
