Om mig

My name is Bruno Raposo and I am a senior immunologist with a working research experience at the academic level. I hold a PhD in Medical Science and have a pre-clinical research focus and vaccine development purpose. Praised presenting and mentoring skills, with expertise in animal models of autoimmunity, T and B cell immunity. On some of my free time I write a popular science column in a Portuguese newspaper:
