Inês P. Silva is a PhD student at NOVA Medical School, specializing in Health Sciences, particularly Biomedicine. With a background in Biology and Biopharmaceutical Sciences, her focus is on developing a neurovascular unit-on-chip, inducing a PD-like phenotype, and testing phenolic metabolites as a preventive strategy. Her research integrates microfluidics and neurobiology to create physiologically relevant models for studying the effects of phenolic metabolites in neurodegeneration, aiming to advance neurodegenerative disease research.
