Carlos M. Gastalho graduated in Pharmaceutical Sciences (MSc, PharmD.) in 2012 from the Faculty of Pharmacy of University of Coimbra and he is currently a PhD Student FCT Grant at University of Évora. His research activity is based on the development of polymeric nanosystems for drug entrapment (either hydrophilic also hydrophobic) with biological and pharmacological activity further assessed through preclinical assays in cell culture. He has also attended several congresses and Symposia related to his PhD and has presented poster communications, was author of abstract publications, co-author of a publication, and co-editor of one book. He participated in the organization of several scientific events. He has also participated, as co-supervisor of High School ERASMUS+ students at the Laboratory of Biochemistry (University of Évora, 2021), also one Bachelor Student in the Biotechnology field (University of Évora, 2022).
