Inês Castro Almeida
PhD Student

Inês has a degree in Biochemistry from the University of Beira Interior, since 2021, where she had the opportunity to do an internship in the ERASMUS + program, at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, University of Oxford in the same year. Here, she participated as a lab assistant in projects that aimed to study the modeling of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in different pathological contexts. In 2023, Inês completed her master's thesis at I3S, where she developed her work in the Immune Sensing and Signaling Dynamics Group, as part of the Clinical Biochemistry master's program at the University of Aveiro. After a year as a Research Fellow at the same research group, she began her PhD project within the Molecular and Cell Biology Program at the Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar, University of Porto. Her current focus revolves around unraveling the intricacies of AHR in drug sensing, aiming to comprehend the impact of this interaction on treatment efficacy.
