Experience
Scientific Initiation Grant “Fructofilia” - Mar. 2013 – Present
Improvement of fructose fermentation through industrial S. cerevisiae species
The BIC was supervised by Dr. Helena Albergaria, research scientist at LNEG (National Laboratory of energy and
geology). The aim of this work is the development and characterization of new lines of S. cerevisiae for fermentations
of carob syrup as main carbohydrate source.
Scientific Initiation Grant “Prémios científicos UTL/Santander Totta 2011” - Jun. 2012 – Nov.
2012
Applied Biocatalysis Grant BIC.UTL/Santander.11
The BIC was supervised by Dr. Pedro Fernandes, research scientist at IBB-IST (Institute for Biotechnology and
Bioengineering). The aim of this work was to optimize the conversion of inulin into fructose in continuous mesoreactors.
Participant of the 9th International Conference on Protein Stabilisation (ProStab) - May. 2012
ProStab - From molecular level to market applications
th
nd
th
Participated in the organization of the 9 international conference of ProStab from 2 to 4 of May in Lisbon, together
with the coordinators, collaborators and researchers of the BEBL (Bioprocess Engineering and Biocatalysis Laboratory)
group at BERG (BioEngineering Research Group).
Member of BEBL Research Group - Sep.2011 – Nov. 2012
Bioprocess Engineering Biocatalysis Laboratory
The BEBL group is inserted in BERG group at IBB (Institute for Biotechnology and Bioengineering) were the laboratory
work is presented fortnightly in order to discuss the results and suggest new ideas for further research.

Internship in IBB Group at IST - Feb. 2010 – Jul. 2010
Immobilization of proteins by PVA-PEG method
The Internship was supervised by Dr. Pedro Fernandes, research scientist at IBB (Institute for Biotechnology and
Bioengineering). The aim of this study is to optimize a new immobilization method.
