Fabiana Cunha Giora

She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Graduate Program in Molecular and Morphofunctional Biology at the Institute of Biology of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP). Her research focuses on tissue engineering, with emphasis on the development of artificial tendons using advanced techniques such as 3D bioprinting, electrospinning, and microfluidics, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Hernandes F. de Carvalho. Previously, she was a fellow of the Institutional Program for Training Grants (PCI) of the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) at the Renato Archer Information Technology Center (CTI) from 2018 to 2022. During this period, she contributed to research on artificial bone tissues, under the supervision of Dr. Jorge Vicente Lopes da Silva and Dr. Juliana K. M. B. Daguano. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC-Campinas), completed in 2013, and a Technologist degree in Chemical Processes Technology from the Faculty of Technology of Campinas (FATEC Campinas), completed in 2018. Her introduction to scientific research began during her undergraduate studies in Biology through a Scientific Initiation Scholarship from the Institutional Scientific Initiation Program (PIBIC/CNPq) between 2010 and 2011. Subsequently, she received a Technical Training Scholarship from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) from 2011 to 2014.
