Bio
I obtained a degree in Genetics and Biotechnology (2009) and an MSc in Biotechnology for Health Sciences (2011), both at Univ. Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD). Part of the experimental MSc work was performed at Univ. La Rioja (UR), under an Erasmus grant. In 2019, I concluded PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto (FEUP), in collaboration between Institute for Biomedical Engineering (INEB)/Institute for Research and Innovation in Health (i3S) and Univ. Minho (UM). During the academic pathway, I acquired know-how on phage therapy (UM), biofilm formation/infection characterization (FEUP), development of anti-biofilm strategies/regenerative biomaterials (INEB/i3S), and metagenomics analysis and antimicrobial susceptibility (UTAD/UR). During my PhD, I started to work (still is) as an external R&D collaborator at Univ. Santiago de Compostela (USC; Dep. Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology), FEUP (Lab. Process Engineering, Environment, Biotechnology and Energy), Fac. Dental Medicine of Univ. Porto (FMDUP, Bone Lab), and Fac. Pharmacy of Univ. Lisbon (FFUL), increasing my knowledge in drug-delivery aerogels production (USC), ex-vivo and in-vivo biological characterization (FMDUP), development and characterization of strategies against polymicrobial biofilms (FFUL).
Besides, I have worked as R&D Scientist in 8 projects, involving national and foreign universities, institutes and companies in groundbreaking research on the development of antimicrobial biomaterials, contributing to increasing my scientific independence, management, leadership and networking competencies, namely: COST Action AERoGELS CA18215 (involving 45 countries; ongoing), BIOAEROGEL2HEAL (PID2020-120010RB-I00, Spain; ongoing), SM4S (POCI-01-02B7-FEDER-068501, Country?), Safety4Guest (POCI-01-02B7-FEDER-068467, Portugal), NoMic2Bone (NORTE-01-0247-FEDER-017905, Portugal), Tissue Regeneration (NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-000012, Portugal), SUSCLEAN (Grant ID287514, FP7, 8 EU countries), and NaNOBiofilm (PTDC/SAU-BMA/111233/2009, Portugal).
I have been actively involved in writing, applying and carrying out research projects, namely “Covid-19 - Projetos I&D Empresas”: SM4S (158 984,73€) and Safety4Guest (202 520,41€). Additionally, I had the opportunity to act as main external examiner in graduation degree juries (5), FCT PhD Scholarships, and as reviewer for several scientific international journals (e.g. Advance Health Materials, Acta Biomaterialia).
Concerning outreach activities, I served on the organizing, scientific and chairing committees of several events as Spanish-Portuguese Industry-Academia Aerogel Meeting, 31st Annual Conference of the European Society for Biomaterials, Symposium on Aerogels for Biomedical Applications, and Second Doctoral Congress in Engineering, as well as in international/national Working Group (WG)/Management Committee (MC) meetings, and schools’ science dissemination programs.
I published 19 articles in international peer-reviewed journals (10 as 1st author, h-index 14, 494 citations, in Goggle Scholar), 2 peer-reviewed proceedings, 1 book chapter (under editing) and 19 peer-reviewed abstracts in the lecture library. I am involved in 2 processes of intellectual property (2018), and 2 commercial product development (ongoing). My work was presented in several national and international conferences through oral (4) and poster (15) communications and invited lectures to post-graduation students (2). My research has been highlighted by the media, such as TV (e.g. RTP, TVI24), online (e.g. Maroco Tech in YouTube) and Agência Lusa. As a result of my work, I was distinguished with 7 Awards (PhD Cum Laude, Conference Grant for Early Career Researcher, 3 IACOBUS Papers, PhD grant and Erasmus grant), as well as one Honorable Mention (2nd Science Communication in Microbiology - Portuguese Society of Microbiology).
Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at i3S and a member of the MC representing Portugal and Vice-Leader of WG 1, both in COST Action AERoGELS CA18215. I have mentored and supervised 6 PhD (3 ongoing), 4 MSc (2 ongoing) and 2 BSc (1 ongoing) students.
