- Book of abstracts 4th Meeting on Medicinal Biotechnology (4EBtM)Publication . Costa, Ana Rita; Dias, Ana Rita; Prudêncio, Cristina; Borges, Cristina; Teixeira, Dulce; Almeida, Joana; Vieira, Mónica; Coelho, Pedro; Ferraz, Ricardo; Cunha, SofiaThese meetings have been held once a year since 2015 and have played an important role as a point of contact among several professionals and students in Medicinal Biotechnology. Like the Medicinal Biotechnology field itself, these meetings have also been expanding, not only in the number of participants, but also in their geographical origin. Therefore, it is our goal to act as an interface between students and biotechnology companies/researchers, as well as to increasingly promote networking, projects and collaborations within this field for the upcoming years.
- Development of a chromatographic method for simultaneous analysis of glutathione formsPublication . Teixeira, Dulce; Coelho, Pedro; Prudêncio, Cristina; Azenha, Manuel; Vieira, MónicaReduced glutathione (GSH)is the most abundant low molecular weight thiol-containing tripeptide (glycine, cysteine, and glutamate) which is synthesized in the cells. GSHplays critical roles in protecting cells from oxidative damage and the toxicity of xenobiotics. Besides, it is also involved in the regulation of intracellular redox homeostasis, which leads to its oxidation into oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Determining the ratio of GSH/GSSG in different biological samples is a major procedure for the evaluation of an individual’s oxidative status and can be a potential biomarker of oxidative stress.
- Biotechnology and biochemistry laboratorial education through the SARS-CoV2 pandemic: challenges, truths and takeawaysPublication . Almeida, Joana; Pereira, Cassilda; Coelho, Pedro; Teixeira, Dulce; Louçano, Marta; Bento, C.; Cerqueira, Maria João; Prudêncio, Cristina; Ferraz, Ricardo; Vieira, MónicaIn early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the higher education institutions to adapt to a new form of teaching and learning, from presential to full remote, blended and hybrid environment.
- Book of abstracts of the III Encontro de Biotecnologia Medicinal/ I Iberian Congress on Medicinal BiotechnologyPublication . Costa, Ana Rita; Prudêncio, Cristina; Teixeira, Dulce; Almeida, Joana; Vieira, Mónica; Coelho, Pedro; Ferraz, Ricardo; Cunha, Sofia; Dias, Ana RitaEstes encontros de Biotecnologia Medicinal iniciaram-se em 2015 e sentimos que estamos a crescer, tal como a Biotecnologia Medicinal. Esta área da Biotecnologia tem ganho relevância, quer em empresas, quer a nível académico, criando interfaces entre a biologia molecular, a microbiologia e a química medicinal.
