Cláudia Mendes
Project Manager
University of Oxford
Cláudia is a Project Manager at the Cragg Group based in the University of Oxford.
During her doctoral studies, supervised by Christen Mirth and Élio Sucena at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in Portugal, Cláudia explored how growth and differentiation during ovary development are modified by larval nutrition in the fruit fly.
She later moved to the UK to conduct her first postdoctoral research project with Alistair McGregor and Daniela Nunes in Oxford Brookes University, where she investigated the genetic mechanisms underlying variation in the size and shape of the external male genitalia between two closely related fly species.
Cláudia then became interested in how tissues and organs lose the ability to control their growth, which is one of the hallmarks of tumour initiation and progression. She conducted her second and final postdoctoral research project in the Wilson Group at the University of Oxford.
She is now keen to have a successful career in project management.
