The "Workshop on citrus: from farm to the fork", organized in partnership by CBQF - Center for Biotechnology and Fine Chemistry of ESB-UCP, COTHN-CC, Frutas TERESO and ALGARORANGEl, within the scope of the MEDI SMART project, on the  April 17th, at 9:45 am, at the University of Algarve.

This Workshop will be in person and online.

 Workshop Program 

João Borges will present on May 3, 2023, at 4:30 pm, at the Comendador António Miranda Auditorium, a lecture entitled "Supramolecular multicomponent biomaterials to interface with living systems".

João Borges is a Senior Researcher at CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, with an individual contract supported by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT). He graduated and received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Porto in 2008 and 2013, respectively. His PhD studies focused on studying the fundamentals governing the adsorption of proteins on surfaces modified with self-assembled monolayers and biopolymeric materials. From 2013 to 2018, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Minho and University of Aveiro. His research focuses on the molecular design, synthesis and development of soft supramolecular multicomponent biomaterials, by combining polysaccharides, self-assembling peptides/proteins and nucleic acids, to be used as bioinstructive matrices to control cell functions and as platforms for controlled drug/therapeutics delivery.

Venha descobrir o que são Biobased Products no próximo Biowaste Club, que irá ser realizado no próximo dia 14 de abril, pelas 14h30, no Auditório Arménio Miranda da ESB-UCP.

O Biowaste Club organizado pela LIPOR, ESB-UCP e 2GoOut, no âmbito do projeto HOOP.

Síntese do programa:

Biowaste clubs
O Biowaste Club é uma plataforma criada no âmbito do projeto HOOP, que visa promover o envolvimento dos diferentes atores locais e regionais na cadeia de valor dos biorresíduos, através de eventos dinâmicos e participativos focados em temas relevantes.

Projeto HOOP
O projeto HOOP, financiado pelo programa Horizonte 2020, cria uma rede de “regiões-farol” para iniciativas de bioeconomia urbana circular, de grande escala, com foco no desenvolvimento de produtos de base biológica, a partir de biorresíduos e águas residuais. Este projeto é desenvolvido por um consórcio formado por 23 parceiros de 10 países europeus. O Grande Porto é uma das 8 “regiões farol” do HOOP, através da participação da LIPOR no projeto.

The kick off section of the Project ATLANTICLAM - Bring Euro-native clam species from ‘farm to fork’ under the scope of the BLUE GROWTH PROGRAMME will take place on the 18th of April at Escola Superior de Biotecnologia. The agenda includes research presentations by the project partners:

• Application of genomics technologies for the development of selective breeding programmes of clam species (NOFIMA - Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research)
• In situ sensors for monitoring of cyanobacterial toxins (INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory)
• Development of new packaging technologies to preserve clams (ESB - Escola Superior de Biotecnologia da Católica)
