Cláudia Saraiva,
Post-Doctoral Researcher
Dr. Cláudia Saraiva, a Biochemistry by training, holds a PhD in Bioengineering with specialization in neurosciences from the MIT Portugal Doctoral Program, University NOVA of Lisbon, Portugal. During her PhD she studied the therapeutic potential of microRNA-loaded nanoparticles in neural stem cell-based brain repair strategies in a context of neurodegenerative disease and stroke. The work was developed under the supervision of Dr. Liliana Bernardino (Covilhã, Portugal) and co-supervision of Dr. Lino Ferreira (Coimbra, Portugal). Part of the PhD work regarding stroke was developed at the Laboratory for Experimental Brain Research, Wallenberg Neuroscience Center, Lund University (Sweden) under supervision of Dr. Karsten Ruscher. Cláudia is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Developmental and Cellular Biology Group at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB). Her work focus on the optimization of novel 3D cultures and modeling of neurodegenerative disorders, namely Parkinson’s disease.
