I am Paulo Faria, a PhD student at the University of Porto (Portugal) working on a cancer vaccine for glioblastoma. Through a Short-Term Scientific Mission supported by the IMMUNO-model COST action, I joined Professor Alessio Malfanti’s Lab at the University of Padua (Italy) where I learned to establish an immunocompetent model of glioblastoma resection, crucial for the last step of my PhD. I am truly grateful for this opportunity, which advanced my project and expanded my network!
