The 1^st NanoPurAsp Workshop “Development of Sustainable Nanomaterials for the Purification of Antileukemic Drugs” took place at FEUP on September 2, 2019.

The Workshop coincided with the first annual meeting of the project NanoPurAsp (POCI-01-0145-FEDER-031268) leaded by CICECO – University of Aveiro (Doctor Ana Paula Tavares) with partnership from LSRE-LCM/FEUP (Cláudia Gomes Silva and Joaquim Faria) and from the Universidade Estadual de São Paulo, Brazil (Professor Valéria C.S. Ebinuma).

Due to the broadness of the discussed topics, ranging from nanotechnology, materials science, microbiology and biotechnology, the meeting was open to the public and counted with over 30 participants. 

LSRE-LCM congratulates Maria João Barbosa Regufe for her PhD thesis defense approved by the jury.

On July 31th, 2019 Maria João finished the Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Engineering, with the PhD thesis entitled "CO₂ Capture from Flue Gases by Electric Swing Adsorption" supervised by Prof. Ana Mafalda Ribeiro and co-supervised by Dr. Alexandre Ferreira and Prof. Alírio Rodrigues.

The staff and team of LA LSRE-LCM wish Maria João success for the beginning of the new professional stage at LSRE-LCM!
