Luana May Rosendo completed her academic journey at the University of Beira Interior, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences in 2020, followed by a Master of Science degree in Biochemistry in 2022. With a strong commitment to advancing scientific knowledge, she has contributed significantly to the field through her research endeavours and publications. Luana has authored six articles in prestigious international peer-reviewed journals, showcasing her expertise and dedication to scientific inquiry. Throughout her academic and professional pursuits, Luana has actively engaged in various seminars and workshops, totalling 28 events, focusing extensively on chromatographic analysis. Her participation includes delivering two oral presentations at international forums and presenting ten posters at both national and international conferences. With a specialization in forensic, clinical, and analytical toxicology, Luana's research interests centre on developing innovative analytical methodologies for drug abuse analysis in biological specimens, with an emphasis on environmentally friendly extraction techniques. She possesses extensive experience in sample preparation methods, including solid-phase extraction (SPE), microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS), dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), and derivatization techniques. Furthermore, she is proficient in employing advanced analytical instrumentation such as high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a photodiode array detector (HPLC-DAD), gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Luana's technical expertise extends to software utilization, including Minitab 17 for digital skills such as the design of experiments (DOE), as well as MassHunter Workstation (B.02.01 and B.09.00), ChemStation, TargetLynx (V4.1 SCN714), MassLynx (V4.1 SCN714), MultiQC5, and Evolis™ Twin Plus (V.3.0). Additionally, she has acquired proficiency in developing, optimizing, and validating analytical methods for substance determination in various biological specimens (e.g., urine, plasma, oral fluid, and hair), adhering to international regulatory guidelines set by esteemed organizations such as the Food and Drug Administration, International Conference on Harmonization, Scientific Working Group of Forensic Toxicology, and European Medicines Agency.
