Dr. Ana Cláudia Lima is a FCT Individual Fellow (Junior researcher grant from the Stimulus of Scientific Employment, Individual Support (CEECIND) - 5th Edition (2022.07521.CEECIND)), at the 3Bs Research Group, University of Minho. She concluded her master's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Porto in 2013. Later, she graduated and received her Ph.D. in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine, and Stem Cells, with high academic distinction from 3Bs Research Group - University of Minho (2015-2020). During her doctoral studies, she developed 3 novel nanomedicines to treat autoimmune/inflammatory conditions, which significantly contributed to the state-of-art of nanotechnology field, as revealed by the number of high-quality publications as the first author: 5 original papers (3 of them published in IF > 9, ACS Appl Mater Inter, Adv Healthc Mater, J Control Release), 1 review and 2 patents. Currently, her work focuses on the development of an immune system-on-a-chip platform for effective personalized medicine. Dr. Ana Lima has broad scientific interdisciplinary expertise in the fields of nanotechnology, immunology, cellular/molecular biology, pharmacology, drug delivery, bioengineering, material science, biomaterials, tissue engineering, microfluidics, biosensors, and microfabrication. She also has a FELASA category C certification for animal experiments. As a result of her research work, Dr. Ana C. Lima is the (co-)author of 14 full papers in Q1 score International journals (11 published with accumulative IF of 75,130, 2 submitted), 2 reviews (Biomaterials IF 12.5), and 2 patents. Considering the vital role of her work in the field, she has attended several important national and international meetings with 16 communications (1 invited, 5 oral and 10 posters), being very active in engaging the public dissemination of the work. Her work has been cited around =233 times (h-index of 8 –Google Scholar). She has also been involved in the writing or active research in several national and international R&D research projects. During these years of a research career, Dr. Ana C. Lima was granted 2 fellowships and 1 grant from FCT (Junior researcher grant from the CEECIND - 5th Edition, Incentivo/SAU/LA0026/2014, PD/BD/11384/2015, and PTDC/BTM-ORG/28070/2017) and 1 grant for research internship (H2020 MSCA RISE 2017 REMIX). Recently, she was awarded with "ON Kick-Starter Grant” by ON Foundation for the research project “Enzymatic-responsive polymeric micelles for controlled drug delivery in Rheumatoid Arthritis: an in vivo study”. In parallel, she has/d an active role in student supervision/mentoring, including more than 5 MSc/Ph.D. students. She is also a referee in scientific journals and has been part of the organizing committees of conferences (eg TERM STEM conferences). To foster fruitful collaborations with different universities, she enrolled in 2 secondments at the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences in Glasgow, United Kingdom, and at the Faculty of Engineering in Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. Her personal and professional goals and ambitions make Dr. Ana C. Lima eager to embrace challenges and deliver research work at the highest standards levels, which is underscored by several scientific publications, presentations, and patents.
