Vânia M. Moreira (VMM) holds a doctoral degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry (2008) from the University of Coimbra, in Portugal. She is currently an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Coimbra. She is awarded with the "Title of Docent" (Dosentti) from the University of Helsinki, in Finland, since 2015. Prior to her relocation to Portugal in 2019, she was a post-doctoral researcher at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Coimbra (2009-2012), a post-doctoral reseacher at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Helsinki, Finland (2012-2015) and later a PI (2015-to date), and then a Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry (2017-2020), at the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences (SIPBS), at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland, UK. She is a highly international researcher having worked & lived in Portugal, the USA, Italy , Finland and the UK. VMM is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) since 2018, a professional recognition scheme for university lecturers with teaching practices well-aligned with the United Kingdom Professional Standards framework (UKPSF). She also holds a post-graduate certificate in knowledge exchange, from the University of Strathclyde, since 2019. Her research focuses on finding new therapies to target resistant infections by exploring the medicinal properties of small terpenoid compounds. She also investigates innovative surfaces based on polymers from nature, in search for more eco-friendly antimicrobial polymers that can replace those derived from fossil-fuels. VMM has attracted funding as leading project investigator (PI) and as project participant from international sources including Business Finland, the Academy of Finland, the Magnus Ehrnrooth Foundation, the Huonekalusäätiö, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC, UK), Tenovus Scotland, the European Union (Seventh Framework Programme, FP7), the European networking COST action CM1307 (2016-2018), the Portuguese national funding agency for science, research and technology (FCT) and the University of Coimbra (INOVC+). She has authored/co-authored several peer-reviewed publications and is an inventor in patents. She supervises/has supervised post-doctoral researchers, doctoral and masters’ students. Her work was presented in international and national scientific meetings as oral and poster communications. She has been the examiner of doctoral and masters’ thesis and the external reviewer for grant applications of research institutions in Serbia, Slovenia, the UK, Finland and Denmark. In recognition of her research achievements, VMM was highlighted by the European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC), as one of the "New talents Europe 2016". Other international awards and distinctions, won competitively throughout her career incude: the Chancellor’s Research Fellowship, University of Strathclyde, UK (Set 2017), selection for the ERC StG 2015 Interview step (appl. no. 678342, 1 499 714EUR), having her doctoral work selected by Atomium Culture EU news highlights (2012), receiving the highest grade in her doctoral dissertation defense at the University of Coimbra (2008) and receiveing the "Best student of Pharmacy in Portugal" award, in 2013 (Prémio Sociedade Farmacêutica Lusitana). VMM is a Committee Member for the Group for the Promotion of Pharmaceutical chemistry in Academia (GP2A) since 2019, a member-led network of academic medicinal chemists in Europe, where she organises several international conferences and promotes student exchange programmes. She serves(ed) as a member scientific advisory and session chair of several international meetings. She is a regular reviewer for several journals in the field of organic & medicinal chemsitry.
