The Biomolecular Engineering Lab was present in one more edition of the European Researchers’ Night held at the Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência (MUHNAC) in Lisbon. This year, our interactive exhibit invited visitors to “fish” for proteins, quite literally. Participants used a fishing rod to simulate protein purification in a “pool,” letting …
Today we were present at Ciência 2025, showcasing our work!🚀 At our booth, we introduced visitors to our innovative e-nose technology — a powerful digital solution designed to detect and analyze odors with precision. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by and showed interest in what we’re building.🔬 It was a fantastic opportunity …
🔬✨ Another edition of EXPO FCT wrapped up last week (30th april)!We loved talking to high school students, learning about their backgrounds, exchanging ideas about potential undergraduate courses, and sharing the science we do at the Biomeng Lab!It’s always inspiring to hear their perspectives, see the diversity of interests they bring, and imagine how they …
Exciting news! 🎉 On March 6th, Renata Costa has successfully defended her Master’s thesis in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering! 🧪🔬 Her research, titled ‘Exploring alternative culture media for recombinant protein expression in bacterial hosts’, explores innovative approaches to enhance biotechnological production. Congratulations on this achievement! 👏🎓
Biomeng Lab was present at the European Researchers’ Night (September 27th) , sharing the work we have been developing in #PURE_project, #PROSPLIGN_project, #PROTEIOS_project and #UNMASK_project. We’d like to thank everyone that spent a few minutes getting to know us!
We are PURE: A team focused on turning the bioseparation processes in biopharmaceutical manufacturing more ecofriendly and productive. ♻️ Interested to know more about it? Take a look 👀 at the video and check our PURE webpage: https://pure-fetopen.eu/ https://youtu.be/I_xJs0-oPy8
In our laboratory we are dedicated to bring science to different age groups, deconstructing and making it simple.On June 14th 2024 the 6th and 9th graders from Science Club of Elias Garcia School got to know more about proteins, its expression and purification. The students even had the chance to extract DNA from a banana, …
On May 24th 2024, at the READ ON Almada Festival, we had the opportunity to watch the theatre play created to promote our PURE project to children from various schools in the Lisbon/Setúbal district. It is our mission to ensure that science reaches different age groups and it was with this in mind that we …
On April 10th 2024 we attended the Expo FCT at NOVA FCT where we explained our research projects to the visiting students. Students could see the work of the e-nose device and its application for bladder cancer diagnostics (Ensure project), the versability of proteins’ application in sensing (Proteios Project) and the importance of efficient bioseparation on the …
On November 21st, we were in NOVA Science & Innovation Day23, at rectory building. Our team was showing the E-nose technology developed during SCENT project and currently explore at ENSURE project.
