- I am a portuguese master’s student, currently doing my thesis project at
KI, under the supervision of Dr. Amit Kumar in Prof. Agneta Nordberg’s
research group.
I did my bachelor's in Lisbon, Portugal in Biomedical Engineering and I will

Research
- My master's thesis topic is assessing and understanding reactive astrogliosis
in Parkinson’s brain with astroglial tracers BU99008 and Deprenyl.
Our translational research group focuses on understanding pathological
hallmarks of neurological diseases mainly using Positron Emission Tomography
technique (PET) radiotracers, which show great clinical power
and applicability.
