Mara Elga Medeiros Braga completed Bachelor of Agronomy in 1998 by Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Master in Food Engineering in 2003 and Doctor in Food Engineering in 2005 by Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Mara Braga is a researcher at the University of Coimbra, and she published 95 articles in specialized journals. Mara Braga works in the Green and Sustainable Processes Laboratory whose research strategies and activities are mostly focused on the use of green, sustainable, safe, biomimetic and environmentally-friendly processes for the development of added-value products, materials and applications. These activities and strategies are mostly envisaged for the development of pharmaceutical, drug delivery, nutraceutical, agricultural, biomedical applications and include the use of supercritical fluids (namely supercritical carbon dioxide); aqueous ethanolic-based solvent systems; natural-based polymers and phytochemicals obtained from renewable sources (e.g. vegetable raw materials and agro-industrial residues) and biomimetic synthesis/processing strategies.
