Andreia Valente is an Assistant Researcher at the Centro de Química Estrutural at Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa. She obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Université de Lille 1 in France (2010) developing new polymerization strategies. She joined FCUL in 2010 where she earned two postdocs in distinct areas of organometallic chemistry (nonlinear optics and biomedical). In 2014, after a very competitive call, AV began an FCT Investigator position and independent research at CQE-FCUL, where she develops polymer–metal conjugates for targeted therapy. She merged her know-how in organometallic chemistry with her expertise in polymers to create this innovative family of compounds. These important results lead AV's team to patent this work (WO 2016/087932), which has currently secured private investment. Recently, AV won a contract in the frame of CEEC Individual 2017, confirming the potential of her scientific path and research. Andreia Valente's path is thus marked by a thematic mobility and competence synergy, allowing her to gain an extensive and wide-ranging experience in several aspects of chemical synthesis and the biochemical and biological assessment of compounds. She has, so far, 34 papers in international peer review journals, five book chapters, and several conference proceedings, as well as more than 44 oral presentations (21 as a speaker) at national and international conferences.
