Marta Saraiva

Marta Saraiva is a Researcher at the Católica Biomedical Research Centre (CBR) of the Catholic University of Portugal, focusing on vascular pathologies and cellular mechanisms. Her work bridges biomedical engineering and molecular biology to address clinical challenges in vascular malformations.

Her educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Biological Engineering, University of Lisbon (2018–2021)
• Master of Biomedical Research, University of Lisbon (2022–present)

Her research specializes in arteriovenous malformations and vascular shunts, investigating endothelial cell behavior, cell migration dynamics, and blood vessel formation/resolution mechanisms. She employs non-genetic modeling approaches to dissect cellular pathways without genetic manipulation, contributing to regenerative medicine and vascular pathology understanding.

Recent publications reveal a cohesive focus on vascular shunt models, emphasizing cellular mechanisms in arteriovenous malformation development. Her work integrates cardiovascular research with molecular biology, highlighting translational potential for clinical interventions in vascular disorders.
