Dr. Monique Martins Strieder is an early-career researcher leading a research line on sustainable food biorefineries and the development of functional ingredients at the School of Applied Sciences, University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. Her research integrates emerging processing technologies, green solvents, and protein–polyphenol conjugation to develop sustainable processes and high-value food ingredients from plant and agro-industrial by-products. Since 2016, she has maintained an uninterrupted research career supported by highly competitive fellowships from Brazil's leading funding agencies, including the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). During her PhD, she was selected through the highly competitive nationwide CNPq Doctoral Sandwich Program Abroad as one of only four researchers in the Food Science field funded to undertake a research stay at the University of Alberta (Canada). During her FAPESP Postdoctoral Fellowship, she completed a 12-month research stay at the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL-CSIC-UAM, Spain), establishing long-term collaborations that continue through joint publications, patents, and researcher training. Her research has progressively evolved from vegetable oil processing and natural food colorants to sustainable food biorefineries based on plant proteins, phenolic compounds, and innovative extraction technologies.
