    Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Radiation Biology | Expert in High LET Radiation & DNA Damage Response | Queen’s University Belfast

  • Education

    • Universidade nova de lisboa

      2016 - 2020
      Doctor of philosophy (phd) radiation biology and biophysics

      Thesis: Modelling the effectiveness of alpha particle radionuclides in clinical settings.Focused on the radiobiological effects and dosimetry of Radium-223, an alpha-emitting radionuclide used in molecular radiotherapy.Developed a framework for alpha particle dosimetry in in vitro settings.Gained expertise in high LET radiation effects, targeted alpha therapy, and DNA damage response.Presented work internationally (TAT Symposium, RRS) and published several first-author papers.
