O futuro das mulheres na ciência e tecnologia está prestes a passar por uma transformação significativa, impulsionada por iniciativas crescentes de diversidade, equidade e inclusão em diferentes indústrias e instituições académicas. Historicamente sub-representadas em muitas disciplinas científicas e tecnológicas, as mulheres estão agora a ganhar espaço como inovadoras, líderes e agentes de mudança em áreas como inteligência artificial, biotecnologia, exploração espacial e ciência ambiental. Natural de Torres Vedras, é Investigadora assistente no Instituto Gulbenkian de Medicina Molecular, onde se dedica às áreas de bioquímica e biologia molecular, com foco no desenvolvimento de estratégias terapêuticas inovadoras no cancro. Com uma paixão pelo avanço do conhecimento científico, Marta está comprometida com o aprofundamento na identificação e caracterização de proteínas relevantes em cancro, com o objetivo de desvendar mecanismos moleculares que possam ser aplicados à investigação biomédica translacional, impulsionando assim a inovação terapêutica. O seu trabalho resultou em mais de 30 publicações de grande impacto, colaborações internacionais e reconhecimento através de prémios, como o Prémio Jovem Biofísico (2018). Paralelamente à ciência é uma aficionada por desporto, sendo atleta e treinadora de uma classe representativa no Sporting Clube de Torres.
