Inês Sousa
Inês is currently working on Prime Editing strategies for EYS-associated retinal disease. She brings solid expertise in molecular biology and cell culture techniques, contributing to the development of advanced human-based disease models.
Daniela Patrício
Daniela is responsible for managing multiple hiPSC lines and implementing differentiation protocols to generate retinal organoids, photoreceptor precursor cells, and endothelial cells. Her work is essential for developing robust and physiologically relevant human retinal disease models.
Mara Torres
Mara is an enthusiastic master's student leading the implementation of minigene assays in our lab to explore the splicing consequences of genetic variants. She is actively testing a Prime Editing strategy for an intronic EYS variant, playing a key role in advancing our understanding of disease mechanisms.
