Dr. Filipa S. Reis is a Junior Researcher at Centro de Investigação de Montanha, Instituto Politécnico de Bragança. She graduated with a degree in Biotechnological Engineering (2008) and has a Master’s degree in Biotechnology (2010), both from the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. She holds a Ph.D. in Pharmacy and was awarded the “extraordinary doctoral prize” from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). During this period, she worked at the Department of Nutrición y Ciencia de los Alimentos (UCM), and she was also a member of the BioChemCore group from the Mountain Research Center (CIMO-IPB, Portugal) and the Cancer Drug Resistance group of IPATIMUP/i3S (Institute of Molecular Pathology and Immunology of the University of Porto/Institute for Research and Innovation in Health Sciences, University of Porto, Portugal). During the last few years, she has been developing work in the area of natural products, particularly in the (i) valorization of natural mountain resources as functional foods and a source of nutraceutical ingredients; (ii) development of protocols for the identification and extraction of bioactive compounds from natural matrices and bio-based residues; (iii) development of protocols to evaluate the bioactive properties of natural compounds, namely, their antitumor potential, attempting to elucidate the mechanism of action; and (iv) development of natural and bio-based ingredients for applications in different sectors, mainly in the food industry.
