个人简介
Research interests
Sustainable production in a circular economy
Design and operation of miniaturized platforms for speeding up bioprocess development
Immobilization of enzymes and cells
Favored bioconversion/fermentation systems: production of sugar/oligosaccharide syrups, processing of fruit juices; production of steroids; production of siderophores.
Pedro C.B. Fernandes (b. 1966) graduated in Chemical Engineering by Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) – Universidade Técnica de Lisboa (UTL), in 1989. From 1989 to 1991 he worked as research trainee for Quatrum SA (Lisboa, Portugal), assigned to the design of processes for the microbial production of therapeutic steroids (1989-1992). Pedro received a MSc diploma in Biotechnology/Biochemical Engineering in 1994 and a PhD diploma in Biotechnology in October 1999, both from IST-UTL and under the supervision of Professor Helena Pinheiro, with works on the microbial transformation of steroids. Pedro was hired as Assistant Lecturer at Instituto Superior de Humanidades e Tecnologia - ISHT, in 1995. He became Assistant Professor, in 1999 as ISHT evolved to Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias - ULHT. Up to 2008 he was Head of Chair of several disciplines in the syllabus of the course in Engenharia Biotecnológica at ULHT, where he resumed teaching activity in 2013 to present. Pedro is currently Associate Professor at ULHT
Pedro has been involved in research activity in applied biocatalysis from 1999 to present at the Bioengineering Research Group (BERG) at iBB – Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences - IST, where he is particularly involved in the design and operation of enzyme microreactors. He is also keen on exploring the potential of hydrogels, for the rational immobilization of enzymes and cells and has been involved in the design of sustainable bioploymer production processes. Within this scope, he has been involved in the supervision of PhD and MSc theses and Post-Doc students, with over 100 papers in peer refereed journals and over 20 book chapters.
