Luciana Pereira (LP) graduated in Biological Engineering (Pollution Control Branch) in 2000 from Minho University, Portugal. She completed her PhD in Environmental Biotechnology at the Technical University of Graz, Austria, in 2004, funded by a Marie Curie Fellowship. LP then pursued postdoc research at the Institute of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology (ITQB) in Lisbon (2005-2008) . She has been in Centre of Biological Engieneering, Minho University since 2008, progressing from Post-Doc to Junior Research by 2018 and then to Assistant Researcher by 2021. LP also earned a degree in Nutritional Sciences (2016-2021). LP has led innovative research lines in Biotecnology apliccation of nanomaterials. She is/was PI and Co-PI, and team member of various national and international projects. She has supervised numerous PhD, MSc students, and researchers, and has national and international collaborations, including projects with Minho University, Engineering Faculty fo Porto, and Brazilian institutions. LP is involved in course evaluation, manuscript reviewing, conference organization, and teaches Bioengineering and Biomedical modules.

Other output
  1. Influence of structure on de degradation with lacase mediator systems. A new laccase was purified from Trametes hirsuta IMA2002. The laccase had a molecular mass of 62 kDa and an isoelectric point of pH 7. It had an optimum pH of 3.0 and an optimum temperature of 558C. The laccase was quite stable at 308C and pH 4.0 with a half-life of more than 100 hours. On ABTS, yringaldazide, and DMP the laccase showed KM and Kcat values of 75, 12 and 37 mM and 64, 83 and 54 s_1,. 2004.
