Joana B. Caldeira: Master in Biochemistry since 2019/07 and Bachelor in Biochemistry since 2017/07, both in Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra. The master thesis with the title “Biological Mechanisms for the Control of Oxidative Stress Induced by Critical Metals in Bacteria” had the objective to study and understand the biological mechanisms behind the oxidative stress in response to exposure to critical metals, particularly indium and gallium, with quantification of bacteria capacity to uptake metal, evaluation of bacterial viability, quantification of reactive oxygen species and levels of reduced glutathione, determination of superoxide dismutase activity and characterization of the superoxide dismutase induced by the metals. The main scientific area is focused on bacteria-metal interactions, exploring mechanisms and proteins from bacteria to cope with heavy metals. The ultimate objective is to obtain strains that can remove metal from the environment and can be used as biological tools (biotools) exploring molecular biology techniques (like obtaining an indium bioaccumulator by mutagenesis). Joana B. Caldeira work with a research grant in ERAMIN2 REVIVING project and already worked on 2 other projects. Published 3 articles in international scientific journals: frontiers in Microbiology (2021), Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology (2021), and Scientific Reports (2020). Participated in some scientific divulgation events with 1 oral presentation, 2 poster presentations, and some events as an organization member.
