Inês Caiado

PhD Student

Induction of Antigen Presentation in Tumor cell by Direct Reprogramming

Biography

Inês has a long-standing interest in studying the development of new therapies for human diseases. As such, she has graduated in Biomedical Sciences at University of Aveiro (Portugal) and got a master’s degree on Cellular and Molecular Biology at University of Coimbra (Portugal). During her PhD, she is exploring a direct reprogramming strategy to induce antigen presentation in tumor cells. Her aim is to use this strategy for the development of an antigen identification platform.

Additionally, Inês is also interested on how communicate science through graphic illustrations.
