Dr. Bruno Lopes-Bastos is a postdoctoral researcher specializing in cancer biology, currently working under the guidance of Professor Ewa Snaar-Jagalska at Leiden University. With a robust background in using zebrafish as a model organism, Bruno has developed significant expertise in modeling cancer, particularly using zebrafish embryos for innovative drug screening approaches in both cancer and aging research. He is currently developing a zebrafish model of uveal melanoma to test photoactivated chemotherapies.
