Filipe Pinto is currently an Assistant Researcher (CEEC – Individual Call, 3rd Edition) at i3S in the Bioengineering & Synthetic Microbiology (BSM) group, developing research on cyanobacterial synthetic biology. He graduated in Biochemistry from the Uni. Porto (FCUP/ICBAS) in 2003 and in the final semester he did an Erasmus internship at BRC (Uni. Szeged, Hungary) working on NiFe-hidrogenases of the bacterium Thiocapsa roseopersicina BBS. After graduation (2004), F Pinto joined Mário Santos’s group at ICAT/FCUL (Lisbon) to work on phage-triggered bacterial autolysis and, in 2005, he joined the team of Ana M Damas at IBMC (Porto) to study the molecular structure of the FH8 protein from Fasciola hepatica. In 2006, F Pinto started working on molecular biology of cyanobacteria in Paula Tamagnini’s group (IBMC), studying H2ases-related genes in Lyngbya majuscula, work leading to his Master's in Biochemistry (FCUP/ICBAS). In 2007, he became team member of the FP6 EU project BioModularH2 (2007-10), one of the first EU projects using a synthetic biology approach. In 2008, he started a PhD in Biology (FCUP), supervised by P Tamagnini and Alfonso Jaramillo (École Polytechnique, France), working on the design/engineering of a cyanobacterial photoautotrophic chassis and parts for synthetic biology. In January 2013, F Pinto completed his PhD with Distinction (awarded Best Thesis FCUP 2013), and immediately started a postdoctoral fellowship in the FP7 EU project CyanoFactory (2012-15) pursuing the research in synthetic biology. From 2016-21, he joined the group of B Wang at the Uni. Edinburgh (UK) as a Postdoctoral Research Associate, using a synthetic biology approach to design and engineer new scalable biological circuits. In 2021 F Pinto rejoined P Tamagnini’s group as an Assistant Researcher and since 2022 he is team member of the EIC Pathfinder project PhotoSynH2 (2022-27), and the Communication Manager within the European Innovation Council's Green Hydrogen Portfolio. F Pinto (h-index 13 - Scopus Author ID: 35614368600) co-authored his first paper while in his degree and, in total, he published 19 papers (4 of which as lead author and 1 as co-first author) in well-established international peer-reviewed scientific journals, including 3 papers in Nature Communications, with an accumulated IF of over 130, and 780+ citations. Five of the papers were published in the last 5 years and he was lead author in one publication that resulted in granted European patents. He was co-guest editor in a Synthetic Biology special issue in the journal Life (ISSN 2075-1729). He participated in several national and international meetings where he presented 4 oral communications and 29+ conference posters, including two prestigious Gordon Research Conferences on Synthetic Biology. Regarding F Pinto's pedagogical role, he is/was involved in the (co)supervision of students, including high-school, undergraduate (including 2 Erasmus), MSc and PhD students. He was also one of the coordinators of the RT-qPCR course, part of the advanced training provided by the Doctoral Program in Molecular and Cell Biology (ICBAS/FCUP; UP) in the academic years of 2013-14 and 2014-15. From 2009, he gave over ten invited lectures at FCUP, mainly in Master’s courses. From 2010-15, F Pinto was part of "Embaixadores da Ciência", a group of IBMC/INEB researchers engaged in science dissemination in schools, he is currently part of i3S' educational program "Ciência ET AL", and has enrolled into the mentoring program for higher education fellowship holders from "Fundação Belmiro de Azevedo". He was awarded a 1st poster prize and 4 conference travel awards, and the prize "Prémio Fundação Eng. António de Almeida" that distinguishes the best FCUP PhD thesis in the areas of Life Sciences, Agricultural Sciences and Landscape Architecture. He is inventor in granted patents describing the neutral sites technology in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis (European Patents EP3106521 & EP3461897).
