==== Research History ====

Patrícia Rodrigues graduated in Biochemistry at Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (FCUL) in 2018. 

During her Masters in Molecular Biology and Genetics in 2021, Patrícia was @ Nova Medical School (NMS) with Lara Carvalho from Jacinto's Lab. She worked with Drosophila Melanogaster embryos to study wound healing when planar cell polarity was disturbed. For this she used a spinning-disk with laser ablation and two different point-scanning microscopes. Being enthusiastic with the microscopy field, she joined the Advanced Imaging Facility @ Gulbenkian Science (IGC) in September 2021 as an Imaging Specialist. 

Now, you can find her on the Bioimaging Platform @ Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine (GIMM). Her main interests are high-throughput microscopy, photomanipulation techniques and image analysis (specially the QuPath software).
