Cláudia Afonso has a degree in Marine Biology and Fisheries, University of Algarve, a master's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, specialized in Quality Control and Food Toxicology, and a PhD in Pharmacy, both at the Faculty of Pharmacy/University of Lisbon. She is a researcher at DivAV (Division of Aquaculture, Upgrading and Bioprospection) at IPMA (since 2000) and CIIMAR. His main area of scientific research focuses on food quality and safety, where she developed research activities with the objective of improving and valuing fishery and aquaculture products. Particularly, the work has focused on risk-benefit assessment associated with the consumption of fishery and aquaculture products, using analytical methods and innovative statistical tools, development and optimization of methods (including the in vitro assessment of bioaccessibility), study of bioaccessibility of nutrients, contaminants and bioactivities, nutrition and toxicology and, recently, bioprospection of compounds from marine resources. She participated in several European (ECsafeSEAFOOD, RISKFOODCOUNT, ALGARED +, etc) and national (QCA III MARE-FEDER, Goodfish, ALGAVALOR, AQUAMAX, GOODFISH, I9 + PROALGA, NewFood4Though, etc) research projects and in the orientation of undergraduate, master's degrees and Phd students. She is co-author of more than 55 scientific articles published in international indexed scientific journals with peer-review and of 5 book chapters, having participated in several national and international conferences (more than 65 oral presentations and 55 posters). She has also been invited to be a scientific reviewer in several international scientific journals. In the professional activities, she interacted with more than 100 collaborators in co-authoring scientific works. In its Ciência Vitae curriculum, the most frequent terms in the context of scientific production are: Risk-benefit assessment; Bioaccessibility / bioavailability of nutrients and contaminants; nutrition and toxicology; compound bioprospecting.
