Distinguished in March with the Pessoa Prize, the Professor and Vice-Rector of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa received last Friday, 23 April, the award, presented by the President of the Republic, in a restricted ceremony due to the covid-19 pandemic.

"I dedicate this award to science and scientists, particularly those who share the same concerns and aspire to always do more and better," stressed the vice-rector of the New University of Lisbon (UNL) in her speech. "We usually say, with great pride, that we have the best laboratory in the world in the areas where we are pioneers, because we have a fantastic team".
