Patrícia Pinho
About
Patrícia Pinho holds a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry (2016) from the Faculty of Sciences of Lisbon University (Portugal) and a master's degree in Biotechnology for the Health Sciences (2019) from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD, Portugal). The master thesis entitled “Evaluation of the impact of cryopreservation on spermatic quality” was developed at the Genetics/Andrology Laboratory of the Hospital Center of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (LGA-CHTMAD), under the supervision of Doctor Rosário Pinto-Leite and Doctor Bruno Colaço. With an internship at this same laboratory for 1 year and 9 months, she learned how to perform the sperm analysis routine and cryopreservation, as well as several techniques of citogenetics and molecular genetics, developing a high interest on semen biotechnology, male infertility and assisted reproduction.
Currently, Patrícia is a PhD Student in Veterinary Sciences (Branch: Biomedical Sciencies, Doctoral Program of UTAD). The project focus is the development of a new rabbit semen sexing technique, and it will be conducted under the supervision of Doctor Bruno Colaço (at CITAB), Doctor Margarida Fardilha (at iBiMED) and Doctor Rosário Pinto Leite (at LGA-CHTMAD).
In her professional activities interacted with 31 collaborator(s) in co-authorship of scientific works. Published 3 papers as (co)author and 3 conference abstracts in indexed journals. Has received 1 honorable mention (Oral Presentation).
