I have formal training in Biochemistry, having graduated from Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (FCUL) in 2005. In 2011 I obtained a PhD in Sustainable Chemistry from Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT/NOVA). Since 2018 I am a research associate from the Raman BioSpectroscopy Lab  at ITQB NOVA. I work in the biochemistry and biophysics field. My main research interests are the structural and functional characterization of redox metalloproteins isolated from bacterial sources; the development of enzyme based electrochemical biosensors; among others. 

I work in the field protein biochemistry and biophysics. My main research interests are the structural and functional characterization of redox metalloproteins isolated from bacterial sources, with particular emphasis on heme containing proteins involved in electron transfer processes and biocatalysis; the development of enzyme based electrochemical biosensors; and the analysis of the proteome of microbial organisms (e.g. sulphate reducers, denitrifiers, actinomycetes) and animal cells. I have a broad scientific background, which includes a wide range of complementary experimental methodologies from bacterial cell growth, to protein purification, vibrational spectroscopies techniques and bioelectrochemistry, among others.

Catarina Barbosa

PhD Student

I obtained my BSc. degree in Biochemistry from Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT/NOVA) in 2016. In 2018 I obtained my MSc. degree in Biochemistry for Health at ITQB NOVA. Then in 2019 I started my present research fellowship at Raman BioSpectroscopy Lab at ITQB NOVA. My main research interest is the development of enzyme based electrochemical biosensors using dye- decolorizing peroxidases using vibrational spectoscopy as a complementary technique. 

My main research interests are in the development of enzyme based electrochemical biosensors using dye-decoloring peroxidases, following rational design based on insights obtained by bioelectrochemistry and vibrational spectroscopy. My background allows me to combine these techniques with complementary methods, such as molecular biology for design of protein varians, bacterial cell growth, protein purification and characterization among others.
