“Sem dúvida uma experiência enriquecedora que me permitiu alcançar a excelência através da combinação do espírito de entreajuda, com a exigência a que os professores me habituaram. Destaco a forte componente prática a juntar ao leque de ferramentas e conhecimentos que adquiri ao longo da licenciatura, bem como a oportunidade de complementar disciplinas na área médica, através do programa Erasmus na Universidade de Nápoles Federico II, Itália. Fui cofundador de uma iniciativa empresarial durante a Licenciatura e da parte do IPVC e dos professores sempre encontrei apoio e dinamismo em fomentar o meu lado mais empreendedor. Atualmente, Doutorado em Medicina Regenerativa, sou cofundador e administrador de uma empresa na área dos dispositivos médicos, HydrUStent SA, e Gestor de Inovação e Propriedade Intelectual no grupo de investigação 3Bs, Universidade do Minho.”
