Joana Vilas Boas

Joana Vilas Boas is a master's student in Organismal and Evolutionary Biology, working on the thesis project: "Uncovering Mechanisms of Behavioural Developmental Bias" under the supervision of João Picão Osório. The objectives of this project are twofold: (i) to quantify behavioural developmental bias, in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, and (ii) to identify the developmental mechanisms that drive this bias.
