About

Carla Varela is a Professor Auxiliar Convidado at the Universidade de Coimbra Faculdade de Farmácia in Portugal. Her research areas include the study of plant-derived compounds for cancer treatment, particularly in the context of breast and prostate cancers, as well as exploring novel therapeutic approaches for liver steatosis using natural products. Recent publications highlight her work on the lipid-modulating effects of plant extracts and the development of nanotechnology-based delivery systems for active ingredients.
