Curriculum Vitae

Teresa Sofia Araújo Esteves

Teresa Esteves earned a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry in 2011 from the University of Lisbon, and a Degree in Technological Chemistry in 2004 from the Faculty of Sciences, from the same university. Currently, she holds a position as a Contracted Researcher at the Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences (iBB), within the Department of Bioengineering at IST. During her doctoral studies, Teresa developed expertise in Inorganic and Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry, particularly in the design of targeted radioprobes aimed at cancer diagnosis and therapy. Her ongoing research activities are dedicated to creating highly selective materials for challenging discoveries and applications. These include complex separation processes, the design of targeted drug delivery systems based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), high-affinity adsorbers, and functionalized PEDOT nanoparticles. She was the Principal Investigator of a research project funded by FCT (PTDC/QEQ-PRS/4157/2014, SelectHost), which focused on the purification of active pharmaceutical ingredients by removing genotoxic impurities using MIPs and polybenzimidazole-modified polymers. Teresa has also tackled new challenges in the realm of environmental sustainability, particularly in water resource recycling within the food industry and waste valorisation. This includes the isolation of added-value compounds from waste resources, and the development of novel separation processes utilizing nanofiltration membranes, commercial adsorbers, and MIPs. Currently, Teresa is pioneering the development of non-invasive, wirelessly activated drug delivery systems for cancer therapy, employing functionalized nanoparticles and MIPs. Her research has yielded high-impact scientific publications and patents. She is deeply involved in mentoring the next generation of scientists, co-supervising PhD students in Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering, and several MSc students across various disciplines, including Bioengineering and Nanosystems, Biological Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering. In summary, the research interest pursued by Teresa Esteves are at the forefront of developing innovative materials and separation processes. These advancements are poised to address some of the most demanding challenges in the pharmaceutical and food industries, as well as in the health sector, particularly in targeted drug delivery.
