Cândida Lucas is a Full Professor from the University of Minho with the Aggregation title in Yeast Molecular Biology achieved in 2007 at the same University. She graduated in Biology by the University of Lisbon in 1982 and finished her PhD in 1988 at the Gulbenkian Institute of Science / Nova University Lisbon. She is a founding member of the Molecular and Environmental Biology Centre (CBMA) and the Institute of Science and Innovation on Bio-Sustainability (IB-S), both from the University of Minho, which she directed for more than 10 years. C. Lucas research essentially focused on yeasts' physiology and molecular biology, and biotechnology. Her major research achievements include the discovery and first characterisation of pentoses and glycerol permeases - their genes, proteins and associated physiology. The consequent biotechnological applications include a patent for a biorefinery based on the utilization of bioethanol vinasse for the production of single cell oil, which is presently under implementation. Importantly, her research also contributed to identify a protein-hub involved in the regulation of yeast membrane and cell wall, as well as the first comprehensive identification of the yeast extracellular matrix in the context of microbial multicellularity. Finally, also the identification of yeasts that behave as predators of filamentous fungi led to their proposal as biofungicides for pre-harvest application in the biocontrol of phytopathogens.
