Career Trajectory
Bio
Xavier Correia (XC) received his BSc in Biochemistry from the University Porto (FCUP) with the highest classification of the course (18 out of 20), having been awarded two student prizes and a distinction for his excellent academic performance. His BSc project provided a solid contribution in the fields of peptide chemistry and neurosciences with the multi-gram synthesis of aza-proline (a versatile proline mimetic) and its incorporation into melanostatin neuropeptide. His training also includes two extracurricular internship (PEEC) at FCUP focused on the organic synthesis of bioactive compounds, with a strong background in medicinal chemistry. In September 2021, XC was awarded a competitive FCT-funded research initiation scholarship (BII, reference REQUIMTE_VC_01_2021) integrated into a multidisciplinary project that combined valencies in organic, inorganic, and environmental chemistry for the development of fluorescent sensors for the detection and removal of toxic metals in contaminated water. In 2021, XC applied for a Master in Biochemistry at FCUP being ranked in the top position. Currently, XC is attending the MSc studies in Biochemistry while balancing his academic and scientific training with research activities at LAQV/REQUIMTE, having received a fellowship (BI, reference REQUIMTE 2023-01) to conduct the synthesis of an extensive library of aza-peptides for a FCT-funded exploratory project in the areas of organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry (Ref. 2022.01175.PTDC), whilst co-supervising two undergraduate students in research initiation extracurricular internships. In 2022, XC has participated in the ERASMUS+ internship program with mobility to the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Santiago de Compostela and the ComBioMed group (CiQUS), contributing to his internacionalization. In addition, XC has participated in several regional, national, and international conferences, summing a total of 19 poster (9 national, 5 international; 4 as presenting author) and 19 oral (5 national, 5 international; 6 as presenting author) communications, five of them (four orals and one poster) distinguished for their scientific rigor and research excellence. Moreover, XC co-authored two research papers in respected peer-reviewed journals (Synthesis, and ACS Chemical Neuroscience) on the topic of peptide chemistry. Overall, XC is a dynamic and enthusiastic young researcher who has an impressive track record of early achievements considering his age and career stage. His academic path and scientific productivity advocate his maturity to conduct quality research and put into practice his own ideas and research proposals.
