Pedro CunhaPhD studentI am a PhD student from Portugal. My academic background in Biochemistry and Cellular Biology was obtained in the University of Coimbra. As part of my Master’s research project I evaluated the potential use of miRNA modulation for targeted therapies to treat cancer. In 2017, I was awarded a FCT studentship to join the Johnson group in 2017. My PhD project aims at understanding the role of nitric oxide in T cell function. I am also interested in how HIF signalling can modulate T cell differentiation and fate. |
