Hugo R. Caires
Hugo R. Caires (Orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7657-7410) is a junior researcher at the Cancer Drug Resistance Group, led by Professor M. Helena Vasconcelos, at i3S/IPATIMUP. Importantly, Hugo's has a strong background in 3D tissue engineering, biomaterial-mediated immune response and Extracellular Vesicle (EV) biology. In the last 3 years, Hugo is developing novel strategies to monitor measurable residual disease (MRD) and to diagnose multidrug resistance tumour phenotype both in liquid and solid tumours patient samples. In this framework, Hugo is currently developing promising EV-based liquid biopsy approaches for the monitoring of MRD both in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia patients’ peripheral blood and in Bladder cancer patients’ urine samples.
