==== Research History ====

Beatriz Barbosa has a BSc in Biology from Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, with the specialized branch of Evolutionary and Developmental Biology (2019), and a MSc in Biomedical Research from the Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa (2024). 

From September 2019 until February 2020, Beatriz did an Erasmus+ Internship for Recent Graduates in Dr. Mihaela Crisan's lab, at the Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine, University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, in which she studied cardiovascular calcification in the mouse embryo. 

Beatriz joined the Bioimaging Unit in January 2023, after studying cardiac valve regeneration in zebrafish larvae, at the Cardiovascular Centre of the University of Lisbon (CCUL). During her master thesis project, she spent a lot of time using different microscopy techniques, including spinning disk confocal, point-scanning confocal, and lightsheet microscopy. Additionally, her project involved other techniques such as heart dissection, cryo-sectioning, immunostaining, and practices on zebrafish husbandry and management of transgenic lines.
