Latest developments in EM sample preparation

Dr. Pinto started her career as a Biomedical Scientist in Histocellular Pathology with a particular interest in electron microscopy. In 2014, she worked at the Primary Ciliary Diagnosis (PCD) in Lisbon. In 2019, Andreia moved to the Royal Brompton Hospital, London, working as a Thoracic Research Associate, where she was responsible for training a deep machine learning platform to recognize patterns in EM images of cilia in diagnosing PCD. She completed her PhD on this topic in 2022 while also investigating new insights into SARS-CoV-2 infection of the respiratory airway. Andreia is currently an Advanced Workflow Application Specialist with Leica Microsystems, based at the Imaging Centre of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg.
