Veronica da Silva Cardoso is a microbiologist (DSc/PhD in Microbiology) and a researcher at BIOINOVAR—Laboratory of Biocatalysis, Bioproducts and Bioenergy, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). Research focuses on the interface of Industrial Microbiology and bioprocess development, with emphasis on microbial bioproducts within the bioeconomy framework, including microbial biopolymers, fungal platforms, and sustainable bioproducts developed through precision fermentation in industry–academia collaborative projects. Expertise includes SOP structuring and data quality procedures (QA/QC), ensuring reproducibility and robust benchmarking across complex greenhouse and laboratory datasets. Additional experience covers mammalian cell culture and cytotoxicity/ecotoxicology assays, including cell line maintenance, assay design, quality control, and interpretation of biological safety and performance results. Background includes university–industry R&D collaboration and process-oriented development aligned with industrial challenges, supporting execution coordination, dataset management, and translation of experimental results into technically consistent deliverables. Activities also include bioactivity evaluation and the development of antimicrobial compounds, biopigments, and microbial bioinputs, with a focus on biodiversity valorization and innovation.
