Soraia has a degree in Biology, specialization in Molecular Biology and Genetics, from the University of Lisbon, and a master’s degree in Biotechnology and Bioengineering from the University of Kent. She worked in different research fields such as studying maturation time of fluorescent proteins, developing nanoparticles for MRI imaging and tissue engineering approaches for intervertebral disc degeneration.
Currently, Soraia is working at ALCHEMY Project (UCP/Amyris collaboration). She is part of the laboratory management team, helping researchers developing their best work.
