Since 2019, he is coordinating a small team of PhD and MSc students that is exploring the potential of nanomaterials’ photothermal effect in cancer therapy and developing macroscale delivery systems. In Jan 2022, he started a new position as Invited Assistant Professor (at UBI). In April 2022, he began his FCT Research contract (at CICS-UBI) that was awarded after being ranked 1st in the category of Junior Researcher (< 5 years of PhD conclusion) in the Chemical Sciences Panel of the Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus promoted by FCT (ref. 2021.00590.CEECIND; approx. 180k eur awarded for salary). In January 2023, he started his first project as Principal Investigator (ref. 2022.06320.PTDC; approx. 50k eur), which was recommend for funding after being ranked 1st in the Chemistry Evaluation Panel of the FCT Call for R&D Projects in All Scientific Domains. Currently, he is also supervising/co-supervising 2 PhD and 4 MSc students, and is an ad hoc reviewer for 58 indexed journals. So far, Duarte de Melo-Diogo has collaborated with 50+ researchers, leading to 55 peer-reviewed article publications (1st author/shared 1st authorship: 10; corresponding author: 21; last author: 13), that total 2782 citations according to Scopus or 3493 citations according to Google Scholar, resulting in an h-index of 29. From these articles, 20 were published in TOP10% journals and another 23 in Q1 journals (total IF= 323.4; medium IF= 5.9). According to Scopus, 80% of these publications are in the TOP25% most cited documents in the world. He has also been granted 2 patents (1 international, 1 national), published 4 book chapters, delivered 12 invited oral presentations, organized 4 scientific conferences and guest-edited 1 Special Issue. He is also author/co-author of 12 oral and 52 poster communications (3 poster awards). He has co-supervised 2 PhD students and 3 Research fellows, supervised 3 MSc and co-supervised 7 MSc dissertations as well as 28 BSc projects. Furthermore, he was the main examiner of 6 MSc dissertations, examiner of 2 PhD theses and of 16 BSc projects. He also evaluated research projects for ANI (Portugal) and FONDECYT (Chile) as well as PhD applications for Breakthrough Cancer Research (Ireland) and book redaction proposal for Elsevier. He has also participated in research projects that total 461,044.53 eur. He has also been lecturing practical and theoretical-practical classes to BSc/MSc degrees at UBI on the subjects of Biomaterials, Cellular Biology, Tissue Engineering. Last update: November 2024.
