Ângela Fernandes, a post-doctoral researcher at Pinho’s Lab, has been awarded with one of the prestigious 2025 Maria de Sousa grants. Ângela’s project will focus on neoantigen glycosylation in colorectal cancer – a type of cancer that remains particularly resistant to immunotherapies.

Pinho’s Lab has recently been distinguished by the Mizutani Foundation for Glycoscience, receiving funding for a groundbreaking research project dedicated to harnessing glycans to improve immunotherapies for colorectal cancer (CRC).
