My research aims at deciphering what controls mTORC1, how cancer cells exploit mTORC1, and which drugs can be used to inhibit mTORC1 and treat human cancer.
I received my Ph.D. in Cancer Biology from the Medical School of the University of Lisbon, Portugal in 2008. My PhD research was awarded a prestigious Portuguese government fellowship which allowed me to conduct all my Ph.D. research at the lab of Dr. David M Sabatini, at the Whitehead Institute at MIT.
After my PhD I moved to New York City to pursue postdoctoral studies in Cancer Biology and Neuro-Oncologic Diseases at The Rockefeller University and Hunter College of the City University of New York. During that time I received a grant to complete a Master of Science program in Clinical and Translational Investigation at Weill Cornell Medicine.
