  • Sessão “Diogo Vasconcelos: Um Exemplo de Visão, Talento e Liderança na Inovação Social”

     

    Diogo Vasconcelos, saudoso Alumnus da Universidade Católica Portuguesa, foi pensador, promotor e participante de importantes momentos no desenvolvimento de Portugal nas duas décadas que mediaram o seu percurso como estudante na Faculdade de Direito da UCP – Porto e o seu desaparecimento prematuro em 2011.

    As Alumni de Direito e de Biotecnologia da UCP – Porto associam-se à Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Centro Regional do Porto para convidar todos os Alunos, Alumni e Amigos da UCP- Porto e o público em geral para recordar e conhecer melhor a obra e o pensamento de Diogo Vasconcelos, no dia 13 de abril de 2023, pelas 18h00, na sala Assis de Magalhães.

    Contamos com a presença de Ana Rita Ramos, autora do livro “Diogo Vasconcelos - O homem que tocou o futuro”, e amigos de longa data, nomeadamente Jaime Quesado e António Couto dos Santos, ambos participantes com o Diogo em variados projetos ao longo de muitos anos. Isabel Braga da Cruz dará as boas vindas.

     

  • Sessão de esclarecimento sobre voluntariado para a JMJ Lisboa 2023

    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.

  • Seminário "What is the role of eutectic solvents in the development of biomaterials for biomedical applications?"

    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.

  • Glucans - from waste to premium biomedical agents

    Please join us on the 31 of March 2023 starting at 14:15.
    No need to register - just show up in EBI -100.

     

    João Pedro Silva is our guest speaker.

    Summary
    Glucans are polysaccharides commonly found in different organisms such as mushrooms, yeasts, oats, barley and seaweed but not in mammalians. In this class, glucans act as immune stimulants being recognized by different pathogen-associated molecular pattern receptors. This property is interesting for the development of applications where the immune system activation is needed, for example, in viral infections. In this work, we have explored the use of industrial spent yeast residue to extract and purify glucans with suitable properties for the development of different biomedical applications.

    A Semana Aberta é uma iniciativa da Escola Superior de Biotecnologia que se realiza desde 2006 e se repete todos os anos na primavera. Em 2023 decorre nos dias 19, 20 e 21 de abril e está disponível sem custos para todas as escolas interessadas.

    Este conjunto de atividades permite um contacto próximo dos alunos do ensino secundário com diferentes vertentes da ciência apresentadas através de demonstrações e experiências divertidas planeadas pelos nossos investigadores e professores. Esta é também uma oportunidade única de visitar laboratórios de investigação e conhecer projetos em curso. Os trabalhos cobrem as seguintes áreas do conhecimento:

    • Microbiologia & Genética
    • Química nas Ciências da Vida e do Ambiente
    • Bioengenharia: Tecnologia, Ambiente e Saúde
    • Alimentação, nutrição e bem estar

    As visitas podem ser por escola (e nesse caso as instituições que se propõem participar devem acautelar que o seguro escolar dos seus alunos abrange esta visita) ou a título individual ou familiar.
