PhD thesis

Role of primary and metastatic colorectal cancer in shaping resident innate lymphoid cells: a new path for immunotherapy

 

I obtained my BSc and MSc in Biochemistry at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. I performed my master's dissertation at the Laboratory of Immunology and Oncology at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra. My dissertation was dedicated to the analysis of the peripheral immune status of trabectedin versus anthracycline-based chemotherapy in soft tissue sarcoma patients. During this time, I presented my work at specialized national and international meetings and published 3 papers, one of them as the first author. After my MSc, I stayed at the Laboratory of Immunology and Oncology as a research assistant and participate in several ongoing projects related to the immune-oncology field. Furthermore, I co-supervised three BSc students.
