Sara obtained her Master’s degree in Biochemistry from the NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal. She then joined the lab of Professor Eurico Cabrita to pursue a PhD in Physical Chemistry with a specialization in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. During her thesis, developed between FCT-NOVA and IQF-CSIC, she explored the structural and functional mechanisms underlying protein phase separation in ALS and SMA. Joining the Pelkmans lab in February 2024, Sara focuses on investigating and developing molecular compounds to target persistent cellular condensates, bridging structural biochemistry with image-based approaches.
