Curriculum Vitae

Ana Filipa Costa Paulino

After my graduation, in 2010, in Environmental Engineering, I immediately applied and successfully finished the master degree in the same field, at Agriculture school of the Polytechnic Institute of Beja. Although my degree has given me a strong background in the field of environmental quality assessment, also my master degree in Environmental Engineering allowed me to deepen my knowledge on this area, particularly, during my master trainee, at CEBAL, where I approached the Valorization of lignocellulosic biomass: Studies of enzymatic saccharification of Cardoon and Rockrose. Since then, I have worked as a researcher fellow on Bioactive Compounds Research Group at CEBAL, under the supervision of Dr. Maria de Fátima Duarte, where I was awarded two fellowships within the projects: NEucBark ¿ New valorization strategies for Eucalyptus spp. bark extracts. PTDC/AGR-FOR/3187/2012 and ValBioTecCynara - Economic valorization of Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus): study of natural variability and biotechnological applications. ALT20-03-0145-FEDER-000038 ALENTEJO 2020. During the last few years, I have been acquiring experience in a wide range of chemical and biochemical procedures through the characterization of the biological potential of extracts from different biomasses, and chemical characterization/quantification, but also in cell and molecular biology techniques. Since 2020, I have been a PhD student in the BEAG doctoral program at the University of Lisbon. The research focuses on molecular markers. The project intends to study the development of molecular markers to select the best cardoon genotypes for cynaropicrin production, leading to the basis of a future breeding program. With great biological activity, Cynaropicrin can be valorized within different industries, being the pharmaceutical and biotechnological options the ones with greater add-value. Chemical Cynara carcunculus profile, genetic variability, transcriptomic studies, and identification of potential molecular markers associated to cynaropicrin traits, will be assessed.
