About me

My goal in the lab is not only to grow and learn as much as possible, professional as well as personally, but also to be able to contribue to its development.


Welcome to the team, Inês!

October 7, 2021

Inês holds a Bachelor degree in Biochemistry and just started her final master thesis in  Biotechnology, both from FCT-NOVA. At our lab, she will be working on the Non-invasive and fast identification of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria within our #SCENT_project.

We wish that she achieves her personal goals and hope that this experience will be worthy for her future!
