Inês Filipa Coelho Ribeiro (3913-3D4D-4200)

Curriculum Vitae

Inês Ribeiro holds a BSc in Environmental Health (2015), an MSc in Toxicology and Environmental Contamination (2017), and a PhD in Biomedical Sciences (2023). Her work was in the field of marine biotechnology, focusing on the bioprospection of marine actinobacteria for the discovery of new natural products. Currently, she is a researcher (microbiology technician) in the Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research of the University of Porto, within the scope of the Innovation Pact, and provides technical support for maintaining and organizing cultures of non-photosynthetic prokaryotes that will integrate the Portuguese Blue Biobank. She has experience and know-how in microbial isolation and identification, carrying out bioactivity and biodegradation tests, and knowledge of the chemistry of natural compounds.
