Luísa Barreira, PhD in Environmental Sciences and Technologies - Aquatic Environment, Assistant Professor of the Chemistry and Pharmacy Department of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Algarve. She is a senior researcher of CCMAR, and a member of the GreenCoLAB, for I+D+I of Biotechnological Applications of Marine Organisms including microalgae as bioproducers (e.g. phospholipids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, pigments and bioactive natural products) as well as for wastewater treatment and other marine organisms (e.g. seaweeds and halophyte plants) as sources of ingredients for food and feed. She has participated in fifteen projects, nine involving microalgae and is currently the Principal Investigator of the project GreenTreat (An Integrated, Sustainable Process for the Tertiary Treatment of Urban Wastewater using Microalgae in the Algarve region; ALG-01-0145-FEDER-031567, 2018-2021) and the institutional (CCMAR) coordinator of the project ALGAE4IBD from Nature to Bedside - Algae Based Bio Compound for Prevention and Treatment of Inflammation, Pain and IBD. She has supervised 4 PhD students and is currently supervising 2 more. She has 93 papers published in peer-reviewed journals with over 3200 citations with a cumulative h-index of 33 (in Scopus).

ABSTRACT: Industrial production of novel microalgal isolates is key to improving the current portfolio of available strains that are able to grow in large-scale production systems for different biotechnological applications, including carbon mitigation. In this context, Tetraselmis sp. CTP4 was successfully scaled up from an agar plate to 35-and 100-m(3) industrial scale tubular photobioreactors (. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-23340-3
