Luana Campos Soares

Postdoctoral Research Scientist

I am investigating the blood-brain barrier (dys)function and the regulation of brain water homeostasis in CNS pathologies using preclinical models.

 

BIOGRAPHY

During my previous postdoc in Oxford, I worked on The Oxford Martin Programme on 3D Printing for Brain Repair, developing and characterising 3D cortical constructs using human iPSC- and hESC-derived layer-specific neurons. These constructs, upon transplantation into the mouse brain, formed vascularized grafts and established functional connections with host targets.

I have completed my PhD in Oxford in 2021, studying neural progenitor polarity and identifying mechanisms of cortical mispositioning in Galectin-3-depleted embryos.

Before coming to Oxford, I graduated in Biology at the Universidade Estadual Paulista and completed a Master's degree in the A.C.Camargo Cancer Center in Brazil.
