Rita Barros, PhD student at LSRE-LCM/ALiCE, was invited to pitch her work “Triple-Action Cutaneous Device for Skin Cancer Treatment” at the 2^nd edition of Deep Tech Academic Spin-offs, held on December 11 at FEUP.

The event brought together entrepreneurs, investors, academics, and innovation leaders to explore how deep tech research can successfully move from universities to global markets. Following a highly positive reception to her pitch, Rita was strongly encouraged to apply to the 2026 edition of Conception X, the UK’s leading cross-university PhD deep tech venture programme. A great example of how cutting-edge research at LSRE-LCM/ALiCE is advancing innovation, entrepreneurship, and societal impact.

Lucília Ribeiro signed on December 16 a contract as Assistant Professor, reinforcing LSRE-LCM staff and scientific perspectives.

Congratulations to Lucília!
