Team Member
Nuno Ribeiro graduated in 2003 and taught Science and Biology in several public schools for more than a decade. He completed an MSc in Biology Teaching from University of Porto in 2006 and joined Ipatimup's Public Awareness of Cancer Unit (former Science Communication Unit) in the same year. Since then, he participated in numerous research projects, ranging from science communication to cancer prevention and developed educational software, hands-on activities, teacher training courses, teaching manuals, and short documentaries. He completed his PhD in Multimedia in Education at University of Aveiro in 2018 where he explored the use of smartphones in cancer prevention and developed a cancer prevention app called Happy (http://happy-app.eu). He is currently a PostDoc fellow in i3S's Communication Unit and Ipatimup’s Cancer Prevention Unit and a researcher in University of Aveiro’s DigiMedia – Digital Media and Interaction Research Centre. His research focuses on the implementation of cancer prevention strategies in young populations with an increasing emphasis on digital and interactive media.
