Sara F. Vieira (SFV) is a Junior Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Centro de Investigação de Montanha (CIMO) of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB). SFV has a PhD in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine, and Stem Cells (University of Minho), an MSc in Biomedical Engineering with a focus on Biomaterials, Rehabilitation, and Biomechanics (University of Minho), and a BSc in Biomedical Engineering (University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro). SFV research interests are (i) the Chemistry of Natural Products (extraction, identification, fractionation, and isolation of bioactive compounds); (ii) the Bioactivity of Natural Compounds (cytocompatibility, wound healing, photoprotective, anti-allergic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities); (iii) Pharmaceutical Formulations (enhancing the therapeutic index of bioactive compounds through drug delivery systems); and (iv) Sustainability (valorization of by-products and agri-food waste). SFV has multidisciplinary training in various complementary areas, such as natural matrix, extraction techniques, manufacturing techniques, surface characterization, cell culture, cellular and molecular biology, analytical chemistry, drug research, nanomedicine, immunology, biomaterials, drug delivery systems, and in vivo models. These skills and knowledge allow her to adapt to different scientific and technological fields. Throughout her journey, SFV got the opportunity to guide and share knowledge with 1 ungraduated, 5 MSc, and 3 PhD students. Additionally, she had established collaborations with various research groups from different universities, resulting in several scientific publications. She also participated in PhDynamics, contributing to event organization and the promotion of science dissemination. SFV also interacted with the biotechnology sector through its engagement with iLoF - Intelligent Lab on Fiber as a biologist. As a researcher, SFV awarded 1 research scholarship (LA ICVS 3Bs, 2017, 3B's Research Group), 2 PhD scholarships from the FCT under the PhD programme in Advanced Therapies for Health (PATH, PD/00169/2013, PD/BD/135246/2017, COVID/BD/152012/2021, 2017-2022, 3B's Research Group), and 1 Post-doctoral research grant (Net4Food, 2024, CIMO). SFV also participated in 7 international Projects (Flexpol, SPARTAN, FROnTHERA, Cells4_IDs, HEALTH-UNORTE, CHIRALBIOACTIVE, Net4Food). At CIMO, SFV actively mentors(d) and supervises(d) students at various levels, including scientific initiation (2 ongoing), BSc (2 concluded), MSc (2, 1 concluded), as well as international interns through ERASMUS programs (2 ongoing). SFV academic track record of innovation and research excellence includes 16 papers top peer review scientific journals (8 as first author, 8 as co-author, 13 published), 6 oral presentations, and 20 poster presentations. She has an h-index of 7, according to Scopus, with her work cited nearly 177 times since 2018.
