Dr. Sandrina Alves Heleno (SAH) graduated in Biotechnological Engineering in 2008, obtained her master's degree in Biotechnology in 2010, and her PhD in Sciences (Chemistry) in 2014. In 2015, she was awarded a postdoc grant (2015-2018) and in 2018 she was awarded a research contract through the Scientific Employment Stimulus (CEECIND/03040/2017) and currently, she is a researcher at the Mountain Research Centre from the Polytechnic Institute of Braganca (CIMO-IPB). SAH research targets are the identification, separation, and recovery of functional molecules, as well as their implementation as ingredients and bio-actives in food, with an ultimate goal of extracting high added-value molecules and reusing them in the food chain (from agriculture to the consumer). Aligned with the recent global demands, SAH has been exploiting the agri-food sector, mainly in the valorization of bio wastes, optimizing and implementing greener processes, and optimizing ideal conditions of stability and safety for industry application. SAH has participated in national and international financed research projects, being the PI of some of them composed of multidisciplinary consortiums with several renowned enterprises and research centers, promoting the technology transfer from academia to the industry. SAH research activity resulted in the publication of dozens of indexed journals, book chapters, and patents, mainly related to the development of natural preservatives and functional foods. Moreover, SAH was awarded several prizes, highlighting first place in the European Social Innovation prize (50.000 Euros) and three National prizes (2 BornFromKnowledge,1 CA Creditoagricola (10.000 Euros). One of the international patents led to the creation of a spin-off (Tree Flowers Solutions) dedicated to the exploitation of the developed technology, a natural preservative. SAH also edited a book: Natural Secondary Metabolites - From Nature, Through Science, to Industry, from Springer Nature. She has also organized several scientific events and currently has a team composed of several researchers, and post-doctoral and PhD students.
