ISPPP Flash Presentation Award

Congratulations to Dr. Arménio Barbosa for winning the Flash Presentation Award from ISPPP 2021 with his work on "Molecular modeling on the discovery of synthetic affinity-adsorbents"! Prof. Cecília Roque also took part in the symposium with the talk "Affinity magnetic precipitation for antibody purification".

Welcome to the team, José!

We would like to welcome our most recent group member, José Dinis!

Open Call

Coming soon

  MAGICA wins FCT funding!

The Project MAGICA (Magic Lantern – Study, Safeguard, Uses and Reuses in 19th-Century Portugal) won with the maximum grade the financial support of the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT-MCTES) (Project Reference: PTDC/ART-PER/1702/2021).

Thesis defense Cátia Soares

We are very happy to share that we have a new Master!!!

Today Cátia Soares successfully defended her Master thesis entitled "Production and Characterization of stimuli-responsive Marine Proteins". Congratulations Catia we wish you all the best!

New Instruct-ERIC Research Site in Portugal

Portugal has submitted an application to an Instruct call to constitute Research Sites in those country members that do not yet have an Instruct Centre.

It is my great pleasure to announce that this application was recently approved by the Executive Committee and will have two nodes, one in FT-ICR in Structural Mass Spectrometry coordinated by Carlos Cordeiro, Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa and the other at ITQB NOVA coordinated by Margarida Archer, Universidade Nova de Lisboa.

Visit from 3M - Alexei Voloshin

Yesterday, we had the pleasure to host Alexei Voloshin, the Global Head of Application Strategy and Bioprocess Science of 3M Biopharmaceutical Business Unit. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss our work and for the great talk about 3M's new technologies in biopharma. #PURE_project

Global Machine Olfaction Technologies conference OSMOCOSM

Last week Prof.Cecília Roque gave a talk at the Global Machine Olfaction Technologies conference OSMOCOSM (https://www.osmocosm.org/).

Research Fellowship for MSc Holder (call open until 05.11.2021)


Project Se(L)ect(i)vity is focused on development of an electro-membrane process to recover lithium from saline streams. The main objective is to develop lithium selective membranes and to integrate them into a single flow capacitive deionization (FCDI) device. The main objective of this fellowship will be to develop/manufacture different membranes by using a 3D printer.

New publication is available

We are excited to share with you great news! Our latest paper has been published in Molecules as part of the Special Issue Green Chemistry in Portugal. This work explores "Stable and Oriented Liquid Crystal Droplets Stabilized by Imidazolium Ionic Liquids". 

Welcome to the team, Inês!

Inês holds a Bachelor degree in Biochemistry and just started her final master thesis in  Biotechnology, both from FCT-NOVA. At our lab, she will be working on the Non-invasive and fast identification of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria within our #SCENT_project.

We wish that she achieves her personal goals and hope that this experience will be worthy for her future!
