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!
