Pedro Lourenço completed his Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry at the University of Beira Interior (UBI) in 2021 and obtained his Master’s degree in 2023, graduating with a final grade of 17/20. His dissertation, “Selective targeting of B-MYB G-quadruplex using fluorescent probes,” supervised by Dr. Carla Cruz, was graded 19/20 and focused on G-quadruplex (G4) structure characterization and ligand interaction using NMR, circular dichroism, FRET-melting, UV, and fluorescence spectroscopy. He also gained skills in chemical synthesis, bioimaging, and cellular assays, establishing a multidisciplinary research profile that combines chemistry, biophysics, and biology. Currently, he holds a research fellowship (ref. CICS-UBI_BI_LABORATÓRIOS DE INVESTIGAÇÃO_2025) at CICS-UBI, and from 2023 to 2024, he was awarded a fellowship (ref. UIDP/00709/2020) within the NMR infrastructure at CICS-UBI, ranking first. His work involves nucleic acid structural studies by NMR and other spectroscopic techniques, cellular evaluation, assistance to other researchers in NMR acquisition and data processing, and maintenance of 400 MHz and 600 MHz cryoprobe NMR spectrometers, integrated in the PTNMR national infrastructure, which he is also a part of. He also provides NMR services to the international company WUD. He is the author of seven peer-reviewed scientific publications, being first author in four of them, published in leading journals such as the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules (doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131055;IF=7.7;Q1), Pharmaceutics (doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16040541;IF=4.9;Q1), Biomolecules (doi: 10.3390/biom15030410;IF=4.8;Q1), and Molecules (doi: 10.3390/molecules30081673;IF=4.2;Q2). He also co-authored three additional articles in Chemistry - A European Journal (10.1002/chem.202400285;IF=4.3;Q2), ChemMedChem (10.1002/cmdc.202400591;IF=3.6;Q2), and Molecules (10.3390/molecules29133182;IF=4.2;Q2). Moreover, he is the first author of a book chapter entitled “Therapeutic applications of nucleic acid aptamers”, accepted for publication in the Springer Handbook of Medical Biotechnology. He has presented his research in six oral and seven poster communications at national and international conferences. He is involved in four funded research projects: “Structural and cellular evaluation of G-quadruplex on B-MYB oncogene” (ref. 2024.07170, FCT), “AquaClean – Monitorização e remoção de disruptores endócrinos em águas superficiais” (ref. PL24-00059, FCT, Fundação La Caixa), and two concluded ones: “PAPILOMA – Preclinical validation of a new gel vaginal prototype” (ref. UIDP/00709/2020, FCT), and a structural study on let-7e precursor miRNA/nucleolin complex (ref. APPID: 2473, Instruct-ERIC). He is also part of the UBI-CGD Innovation Award 2024 OralCare project and was awarded a G4thering 2025 Student Travel Grant funded by the G4thering Conference Organizing Committee (USA). His international experience includes an internship at ICMUB, Dijon (Feb–Mar 2025), and participation in workshops at the University of Waterloo, Canada (06/2024), and IECB Bordeaux (10/2024). In parallel with research, Pedro Lourenço has contributed to academic teaching as a tutor in the Biochemistry I and Spectroscopic Methods practical classes (30 h) and has supervised two BSc students in their final projects (Josué Neves and Diogo Dias). He is also an active member of organizing committees of multiple scientific events, including the “XIX Annual CICS-UBI Symposium,” the international “4th Biophysics Festival 2024” and “5th Biophysics Festival 2025,” the international “Theoretical Course: NMR for Metabolic Profiling” (June 2024), and the “3rd Edition Hands-on Course NMR: from theory to practice” (Dec 2023).
