Vânia Gomes graduated in Chemistry (2012) and received the MSc. degree in Chemistry (2014) at FCUP. From 2013 to 2017, she worked on the synthesis of new surfactants derived from aminoacids as potential vectors for gene therapy during her master's thesis and a research grant. In 2017, she started working on the synthesis of flavylium derivatives for photosensitized solar cells in a research grant. Since 2018, she is a Ph.D. student in Chemistry Ph.D. Program (FCUP), where she has been dedicated to the synthesis and study of the chromatic properties of anthocyanin derivatives with potential application as pH sensors. Currently, her main scientific interests are organic synthesis, physicochemical properties of pigments, and food chemistry.
