Being supportive, respectful, and responsible toward our team is part of our mission.
This month, our Quality Control Assistant, Jorge Paiva, celebrates 1 year at Stemmatters.
Jorge brings a wealth of knowledge to his role at Stemmatters, holding a bachelor's degree in Bioanalytical Sciences and a master's degree in Clinical Analysis from the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Coimbra. His expertise spans various areas, including the isolation and cryopreservation of stem cells from umbilical cord blood and tissue, as well as the quality control and characterization of cryopreserved samples.
