Sandra Isabel Ribeiro Pereira is a highly accomplished researcher with a PhD in Agricultural Production Chains – From Fork to Farm, awarded in 2020 by the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD), where she also acquired her Master’s in Clinical Laboratory Biology (2012) and Bachelor’s in Genetics and Biotechnology (2010). Currently, she serves as a researcher in the Centre for Agro-Environmental and Biological Technologies (CITAB) at UTAD, contributing to high-impact projects such as the "Vine&Wine" initiative (as a researcher) and the recently approved "UVineSafe" project (as team member). She as also contributed and is a team member on four additional project proposals that have been submitted and are under review for funding. Sandra's expertise spans Agricultural Sciences, focusing on agronomy, horticulture, and agro-food biotechnology, as well as Biological Sciences, particularly molecular biology, biochemistry, and microbiology. She has a h-index of 9, having published 23 peer-reviewed journal articles and 4 articles in technical journals, authored a book chapter and a professional manual, and holds one registered patent. Additionally, Sandra has organized scientific conferences and workshops and participated in multiple high-level research initiatives, showcasing her leadership in both national and international scientific endeavours. She has delivered 18 oral presentations and contributed to 38 poster presentations. Her contributions include supervision of several master’s theses and undergraduate projects. Additionally, she has served as a trainer for the international post-graduate degree in Wine Quality – MasterVintage. Sandra has been honoured with two awards for outstanding oral presentations, further cementing her reputation as a key figure in agricultural innovation and sustainable development. Her work is driving advancements in sustainable farming practices, with significant emphasis on the intersection of biotechnology and agriculture, particularly in viticulture and fruit production systems.
