Tomás Coimbra

Tomás Coimbra is a biochemist from Lisbon, Portugal, with a BSc in Biochemistry from the University of Coimbra and an MSc in Biochemistry and Biomedicine from the University of Lisbon. His background includes research in stem cell and extracellular vesicle biology, regenerative medicine and microphysiological systems. During his BSc thesis he worked on engineering extracellular vesicles for cardiac repair, and during his MSc thesis at the MERLN Institute (Maastricht University) he developed a 3D gut-on-a-chip model incorporating iPSC-derived neurospheres to study nerve-intestine interactions in inflammation. He is currently an industrial PhD candidate at MIMETAS, enrolled at the University of Amsterdam, within the MSCA Doctoral Network SECRET, a European consortium focused on harnessing perinatal secretomes for regenerative therapies. His research focuses on developing perfused human organ-on-a-chip models on the OrganoPlate® platform to evaluate complex biological samples such as secr
