Postdoc
Andreia Marinho holds a Master’s degree in Bioorganic Chemistry (FCT-NOVA) and a Ph.D. in Sustainable Chemistry (University of Porto). Her doctoral research focused on the design and development of lipid-based and biomimetic nanoplatforms for the treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions. She has published several peer-reviewed papers and actively participated in national and international scientific meetings. Her expertise encompasses the design of nanomedicine strategies targeting inflammatory diseases, with a particular emphasis on lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, and biomimetic systems, including platforms derived from cell membranes. Her main research interests combine lipid-based delivery systems, biomimetic nanoplatforms, and the application of nanotechnology to both biomedical and cosmetic challenges, with a current focus on the valorization of marine by-products for the development of innovative cosmetic formulations.
