Bruno C. Marreiros graduated as a Biological Engineer (IST - UL, 2009) and holds a PhD in Biochemistry (ITQB NOVA - UNL, 2016). Since 2017, he has been a Researcher at the Biochemical Engineering Group (BIOENG) at UCIBIO led by Maria A.M. Reis, an international reference in the Environmental and Industrial Biotechnology field (>16 EU-projects). During his PhD, he pioneered cellular respiration field and developed expertise in Bioinformatics, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology areas. In 2017, following his enthusiasm for Biological Sciences and Biotechnology combined with the ability to transfer the knowledge into market-oriented applications, he moved from fundamental oriented research at ITQB to a broader research area on process development and more applied at UCIBIO. Bruno started by focusing on sustainable valorization of waste resources aiming to develop processes that benefit the environment and contribute for the circular economy.
