Ana C. Pinheiro holds a degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering (5 years program) (2007) and a PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering (Food Technology) (2013) by University of Minho (Portugal). She worked as a post-doc researcher at Instituto de Biologia Experimental e Tecnologica (Oeiras, Portugal) and Centre of Biological Engineering (CEB) of University of Minho (Braga, Portugal) between 2014 and 2019. She is currently a Junior Researcher at CEB. She has published over 78 peer-reviewed papers, 8 book chapters and more than 92 abstracts in national and international conferences. She has dedicated her research activity to topics related with nanostructures for food applications, in particular to the development of nanostructures for the incorporation and controlled release of bioactive compounds, to the evaluation of their in vitro behaviour, and to the development of artificial gastrointestinal models. She was the Principal Investigator of the FCT project "NanoMaxiSafe: Functionalized nanostructured delivery systems for food applications: strategies to maximize bioactive compounds' bioavailability and their safety evaluation" (2016-2019). She has teaching experience (Invited Assistant Professor at Department of Biological Engineering, University of Minho) and is/was the supervisor of 7 PhD and 7 MSc students.
