Diana Pinto concluded her PhD in Sustainable Chemistry in July 2024 from the University of Porto (Portugal), funded by a grant from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), under a partnership with the Chemical Reactions and Analysis Group (GRAQ) from the School of Engineering, Polytechnic of Porto (ISEP) integrated into REQUIMTE/LAQV, and with the School of Pharmacy and Food Science, University of Barcelona (Spain). She also holds an MSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences (2016) and an MSc in Quality Control (2019) from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto (Portugal). Her research is focused on the development of nutraceuticals and functional foods incorporating bioactive molecules with disease-preventive properties extracted from natural sources towards the valorization of byproducts from agri-food chain, by combining green extraction techniques, metabolomics, in vitro and in vivo assays (cell-based models and animals). She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at REQUIMTE/LAQV-ISEP, under the 4FirHealth project (PCIF/SSO/0090/2019) focused on developing in vitro cellular models. Diana Pinto has developed extensive work in these research areas since 2017, which resulted from the participation in 4 R&D projects granted by the FCT. In recent years, she has taken on the role of visiting researcher at different academia (Universities of Barcelona (Spain, 2022) and Novi Sad (Serbia, 2021)). She has so far published 43 peer-reviewed papers in high-impact international journals (24 as first-author, 3 as corresponding author, 19 as co-author; >1100 citations, h-index 20, Scopus) and 7 book chapters (4 as first-author, 3 as co-author, 3 in press). She is deeply passionate about science outreach, which led her to participate in national and international conferences with 35 oral communications and 48 poster communications. She was also awarded 16 distinctions, including 4 best oral and 3 poster presentations awards in international/national conferences, 2 travel grants, and 2 “Recognition of Scientific Excellence-Certificate of Scientific Publication Merit” awards for 4 articles in international peer-reviewed journals (Q1; top 10% journals) in 2023 and 2024. She is enrolled in teaching/mentoring activities (Polytechnic of Porto, Portugal) and peer-reviewing in prestigious scientific journals (e.g., Food Chem, J Clean Prod, Food Res Int, J Agric Food Chem). As part of her team management skills, Diana Pinto has co-supervised 2 MSc students and participated in the organizing committee of 16 scientific events, including an international conference under 4FirHealth project. During her scientific journey, Diana Pinto has been involved in various societies (e.g., Controlled Release Society (CRS), Metabolomics Society (MetSoc), Groupe Polyphénols, ISEKI-Food Association, Pharmacists Order), and transitioned to executive roles in technical committees in 2023 (e.g., Early-Career Members Network (EMN) Committee from MetSoc). Recently, she was invited to be guest editor for two special issues under Separations (MDPI, 2023) and Antioxidants (MDPI, 2024) journals, and participated as abstract reviewer in five international conferences. Her research was featured in newspapers (e.g., Observador, Público) and national TV channels (RTP, SIC and Porto Canal). She has dedicated great efforts to bridging the gap between academia and industry, collaborating to create an interdisciplinary environment for science dissemination through partnerships with industries (Sortegel, RiaFresh, Mini-Kiwi Farm, InnovCat) and collaborations with international (Brazil, Italy, Serbia, and Spain) and national research institutes/universities (Minho, Porto (FFUP, CESPU, FCUP, ESS-IPP), Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (CITAB), Beira Interior, and Lisboa (National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge)), to successfully implement strategies for valorizing agri-food byproducts within her host institution (REQUIMTE/LAQV).
