Miguel Pereira-Silva holds a Master's Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences (2017) from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Coimbra (FFUC), Postgraduate Studies in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology (2019) from the same institution and is currently a joint Ph.D. student in Pharmaceutical Technology at (1) FFUC, Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, and (2) Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santiago de Compostela, at the Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology Department (I+D Farma Group), since 2019 (SFRH/BD/148771/2019, a competitive grant awarded in October 2019 by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCT). He is interested in advanced, multifunctional, and multimodal biomimetic nanosystems for improved pancreatic cancer-targeted therapies, namely chemotherapy, RNA therapy, and immunotherapy. He is currently working on all-functional lipidic and polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, hybrid exosome-like nanoparticles, and exosomes. Additional collaborative work includes an active interest in hair and skin delivery of active compounds as well as plant-based nanotherapies, in full articulation with his Ph.D. work related to advanced drug delivery systems for biomedical applications. Miguel has mentored 6 Master's Degree students, and has authored/co-authored over 30 articles (10 as the first author) in peer-reviewed international journals of the field (h-index=23, i10-index=28, >1600 citations; RG score >30, RG interest>800, h/index scopus 22), the majority of them in high IF Q1 journals of the field, including Military Medical Research (IF 34.9), Coordination Chemistry Reviews (IF 24.8), Trends in Food Science and Technology (IF 16.0), Small Methods (IF 15.4), EMBO Molecular Medicine (IF 14.3), Journal of Controlled Release (IF 11.5)(2*), Acta Biomaterialia (IF 10.7)(2*), Applied Materials Today (IF 8.7), Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery (IF 8.1), Materials Today Chemistry (IF 7.6), Life Sciences (IF 6.7), Journal of Molecular Liquids (IF 6.7) and Pharmaceutics (IF 6.5). Several papers were recently (as of 06/06/22) recognized regarding popularity and impact, namely "Nanomaterials in hair care and treatment", recently listed on SSRN's Top Ten download list for Nanotechnology; "Plant-mediated green synthesis of metal-based nanoparticles for dermopharmaceutical and cosmetic applications" recognized as the most popular article in 3 years (International Journal of Pharmaceutics); "Naringenin Nano-Delivery Systems and Their Therapeutic Applications" as the second most cited article in the last 6 months (Pharmaceutics, MDPI); "Topical Minoxidil-Loaded Nanotechnology Strategies for Alopecia" one of the most viewed articles published in the last 2 years (Cosmetics, MDPI); "Unleashing the potential of cell membrane-based nanoparticles for COVID-19 treatment and vaccination", attracting 2500+ views in few months after publication and one of the most viewed (Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery) and top #3 trending articles as of 8/11/22. He has presented 3 oral communications in national and international congresses of the field, and has so far 6 posters selected for presentation (all as first author). Additionally, Miguel has actively participated in over 100 national and international meetings of the field and has served as a reviewer for Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery (2), Journal of Controlled Release (3), Acta Biomaterialia (1), Heliyon (3), Cancer Nanotechnology (1), Drug Delivery and Translational Research (1), Frontiers in Pharmacology (1) and Open Journal of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics (1). Additionally, Miguel is currently a member of the Controlled Release Society and The Surfaces in Biomaterials Foundation (since 2020).
