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.
Vladyslava Tolstolis
Vladyslava is contributing to a diabetic retinopathy project in collaboration with AIBILI (Coimbra, Portugal). She is actively involved in integrating hiPSC-derived cellular models with translational research and correlating these findings with clinical data, helping to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and disease progression.
