Ana Rita C. Duarte will present on April 12, 2023, at 4:30 pm, at the room EA008, a lecture entitled "What is the role of eutectic solvents in the development of biomaterials for biomedical applications?".

Ana Rita C. Duarte was born in Lisbon in 1978. Currently Associate Professor with habillitation at the Chemistry Department from Nova School of Science and Technology. She was previsously Research Assistant at the 3B’s research group at Universidade do Minho, where she worked for 10 years. She graduated in Chemical Engineering by Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade Nova de Lisboa in 2002 and completed her PhD on Exploring supercritical fluid technology for the preparation of controlled drug delivery systems in 2006 by the same University. In 2006/2007 she was a researcher at Techniche Universiteit Delft, The Netherlands.

The International Society for Advancement of Supercritical Fluids granted her thesis the Best Thesis Award in 2007. In 2013 she was awarded a Fulbright Scholar to support her stay at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA, where she was for a period of 6 months. she has been the PI and/or co-PI of 5 Projects funded by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia. In 2016 she was awarded an ERC consolidator grant entitled: DES.solve – When Solids Become Liquids: Natural Deep Eutectic solvents for Chemical Process Engineering, to proceed the developments on green technologies. This 5 year project was funded by the European Research Council with 1,87 million euros. In 2022 she was awarded an ERC Proof of Concept grant to pursue one of the technologies developed withing DES Solve.  At the moment she is supervising and/or co-supervising 1 Master thesis, 5 + 2 PhD Students and leading a team of nearly 15 researchers. In 2018, co-founded Des Solutio, a spin-off company from FCT-NOVA which aims to develop safer and greener alternatives to the chemicals that are usually used in the production of beauty, pharmaceutical, personal care and other products. She is the Action Chair of COST Action Greenering which involves more than 250 participants from 34 different countries.

At the moment, she has 167 papers listed in scopus with a total of 6034 citations, and an h-index of 41. Her main research interests are the use of green technologies for the development of biomaterials. In particular, the use of water, and supercritical fluids together with the exploration of natural deep eutectic solvents for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.

Os voluntários são essenciais para acolher os vários milhares de peregrinos que são esperados para a Jornada Mundial da Juventude (JMJ). São necessários 30.000 voluntários, um número que ainda está longe de ser alcançado. Até ao momento a JMJ Lisboa 2023 conta apenas com cerca de 10.000 voluntários.

Se gostava de ser voluntário, mas tem dúvidas sobre se a sua disponibilidade será suficiente ou sobre o que irá fazer, participe no webinar organizado pela Universidade Católica Portuguesa, no dia 29 de março, entre as 13h15 e as 14h, e esclareça todas as questões relacionadas com esta participação, tão valiosa para o sucesso da JMJ que vai acontecer de 1 a 6 de Agosto, em Lisboa.

Margarida Manaia, responsável pela Direção de Acolhimento e Voluntariado da Jornada Mundial da Juventude Lisboa 2023, será a oradora deste webinar.

Nos dias 29 e 30 de março realizam-se as Jornadas da Biotecnologia 2023, organizadas por um grupo académico formado por alunos e antigos alunos da Escola Superior de Biotecnologia da Universidade Católica do Porto. Com apoio da Direção e Associação de Estudantes, organizam um evento anual no formato de congresso científico, que conta com oradores de renome das áreas de Biotecnologia, Microbiologia, Ciências da Nutrição, Engenharias Alimentar, Biomédica e do Ambiente.
