Sofia Costa (SC) completed her PhD in Materials Engineering at University of Minho on the project “Local Drug Delivery Systems Based on Biodegradable Nanofibers for Cancer Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)”. Previously, SC graduated in Biochemistry at University of Minho (2015) and finished her master's degree in Biochemistry with specialization in clinical area at University of Aveiro (2017). Currently, she is a Invited Research Assistant at Centre for Textile Science and Technology (2C2T) from University of Minho within PRR PBA - Pacto da Bioeconomia Azul project (Nº C644915664-00000026) and a team member of “Personal Protective equipment for active filtration of microorganisms based on electrospun nanofiber membranes” project (DRI/India/0447/2020). Her research interest are focusing on develop sustainable and innovative fibrous-based solutions combining multidisciplinary areas such as biomaterials, drug delivery systems, electrospinning, cancer PDT, wound dressing, novel natural resources, nanomaterials, multifunctional fibrous systems, among others. Her current work focus on biomaterials sustainable extraction methods from macroalgae and development of algae-based formulations for textile functionalization and dyeing. SC is the (co)-author of 9 research papers in international peer-reviewed journals (5 as first author, 4 as co-author and 3 as corresponding author), 2 conference papers, 1 manual and 15 oral communications and 7 poster presentations in national and international conferences (oral and posters). She is also involved in mentorship and supervision of BSc and MSc students, scientific events organization and participation, science communication activities and collaborations with national and international research institutes and companies.
