Catarina Pimentel is an Auxiliary Researcher at ITQB NOVA. She earned her PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Coimbra, in the field of Plant Sciences. Soon after, she shifted her scientific focus and joined ITQB NOVA to study metal stress responses in yeast. She currently leads the Yeast Molecular Biology Laboratory, where her group targets the development of novel antifungal drugs and sensitive diagnostic tests capable of detecting drug resistance in real time.
