After completing my degree in Biotechnology at the University of Algarve, I decided to specialize in molecular mechanisms of the human body, and enrolled in a Master’s program in Medicine and Molecular Oncology at the University of Porto.
During this time, I came across numerous biological processes that were unfamiliar to many people. It inspired me to seek new ways to communicate complex scientific concepts in an accessible way to non-experts. This led me to combine my desire to understand the wonders of life through science and to create beauty with art. At the time, these goals seemed mutually exclusive, and then I realized that combining science with art was not such a distant reality. Indeed, arts and sciences, apparently two different areas, can be combined through creativity to create unique and effective forms of communication inside and outside the scientific community.
So, I have been exploring the visual aspect of scientific communication via digital
illustrations. Progressively, with a scientific illustration, I aim to improve the communication between researchers from several fields, inspire the next generation of scientists, as well as awaken everyone’s curiosity and admiration for science.
In addition to my research activities, I have extensive training and experience in
scientific communication and illustration. I am the author of six scientific illustrations that have been selected for publication in national and international journals, including the cover of the issue featuring my manuscript in the Journal of Cell Biology

Currently, I am focusing more on traditional, hand-drawn art, further exploring how
manual techniques can add a unique, personal touch to scientific illustrations, creating a deeper connection between art, science, and the viewer.
