Mariana Costa-Macedo
MSc Student, Life and Health Sciences Research Institute - University of Minho
I’m a biochemistry graduate with a passion for oncobiology, immunology and genetics, eager to keep exploring, learning, and growing. I have recently joined the Master Programme in Biomedicine at the University of Minho.
During my undergraduate journey, I had the chance to work on projects that challenged me to think critically, collaborate closely with others, and transform ideas into concrete results. I focused my research along the years on Colorectal and Pancreatic Cancer, trying to understand the effects of a novel metallic drug. I’m motivated by curiosity and a love for problem-solving, and I’m always excited to take on new challenges — whether it’s diving deeper into research, exploring innovative technologies, or connecting ideas across disciplines. I’m now looking forward to applying what I’ve learned, collaborating with new teams, and contributing to meaningful projects!
