My first contact with pharmaceutical patents was in my childhood, when I had no idea what law was. My father, who worked in a pharmaceutical company, often mentioned news from the pharmaceutical world at home. This was one of the reasons why I decided to focus more on intellectual property during my law studies. The second reason was that during the Erasmus programme in Lisbon, we could only choose between English courses focused on intellectual property or other courses in Portuguese.

In addition to intellectual property and ICT law, I also like to deal with personal data protection and contractual relations.
