Curriculum Vitae
Filipe Manuel Coreta Gomes
Filipe Coreta-Gomes got is PhD in Biological Chemistry in 2014 at Coimbra University. In 2015/2016 he got an MBA at Porto
Business School, at Porto University and in 2017 he got a FCT Postdoc Fellowship to work at Chemistry Department, University
of Aveiro. From 2019, he got a position of Junior Researcher in this institution, belonging to LAQV&REQUIMTE research unit
working in the field of food chemistry, biophysics and biochemistry. During this period Filipe was able to obtain funding
from FCT with the project FightSterol (PTDC/QUI-OUT/29373/2017, 212 kEuros) as Principal Investigator, and also was a collaborator
(MTS/BRB/0056/2020, 100 kEuros), to explore bioactive properties of several food and its by-products. His research was awarded
with young scientist award in 2018 at CocoTea Asia conference held in Hefei (China) and the best poster award in 2019 at EPNOE
held in Aveiro (Portugal). He has regularly published is work in peer review journals (23 articles) and have been present
in several conferences both with oral (15) and poster (34) communications. He was also involved in a patent (EP22186572.8)
submission. He is a invited editor of a special issue of Marine Drugs Journal. Moreover, he has been involved in the supervision
of several degrees’ students (15) and master (2). Currently, he is supervising of 3 PhD and i Msc fellows. Its current research
interests encompass a) extraction and characterization of compounds (polysaccharides, lipids, phenolic compounds, proteins)
from food matrices (coffee, algae, mushrooms and pine nut); b) evaluate the chemical changes suffered during gastrointestinal
digestion and fermentation of characterized extracts and evaluating their influence on hypocholesterolemic and neuroprotective
potential, c) determine the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of bioactive compounds; d) development of food functional
ingredients; e) exploitation of technological applications based on polysaccharides derived fractions as drug delivery, emulsifiers
and sequestration agents..
