Leonor Pereira (LP) is currently Project Officer of ADVID’s CoLAB Vines & Wines sustainability axis. Formerly LP was an integrated member of the BioSystems and Integrative Sciences Institute (BioISI) at UTAD as has been granted with a Post-Doctoral Fellowship by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P. (FCT) in 2017. LP completed her PhD in Technological, Comparative and Molecular Genetics at the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro in 2015. Currently, LP main research interest concerns Vitis vinifera L. adaptation to environmental challenges. To address this issue LP started a challenging research line underlying the impact of UV light in anthocyanins pathway regulation. In parallel, LP continues her previous research activity regarding the development of DNA-based technology to genetically characterize international and native V. vinifera varieties and the use of their specific traits/characteristics for wine authenticity. LP scientific research resulted in the publication of several articles in SCI journals (13), book chapters (2), conference proceedings (5), oral (29) and poster (40) presentations, and two DNA sequences submissions in GenBank. LP registered two patents and win three prizes, and one honorable mention, and one STSM training grant. Among other academic/scientific activities LP integrated several national and international research projects, and serve as a review for SCI journals. In UTAD, LP supervised undergraduate and Master's students, was a member of the jury of academic degrees, develop training activities to promote Scientific Research, and other complementary academic activities.
