Sandra Gonçalves graduated in Agronomic Engineering from the University of Algarve in 2002 and completed the PhD in Biology (Biotechnology), in 2007, in the same institution. Presently she is an assistant professor at Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade do Algarve, and member of the Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development (MED/UAlg). Key research topics focused on plant tissue culture, on the exploitation of plant biodiversity as a source of bioactive molecules with industrial interest and on the application of biotechnological techniques for plant biomass production and manipulation. She published more than 80 scientific papers, 16 book chapters by invitation and many other publications (h-index 26). In the last years she has been involved in teaching activities, mainly in Agronomy (Plant Science) and Plant Biotechnology areas, in advanced training (BSc/MSc/PhD) and in outreach activities.
