Marcelo Gaspar has a MSc in Applied Biochemistry (2021) and a BSc in Biochemistry (2016), both awarded by the University of Madeira, Portugal. His MSc thesis titled "Sotolon in Madeira wine: new insights on the aroma impact and main formation pathways" allowed him to develop skills essentially related to chromatography (mainly LC-MS/MS) and sensory analysis. He was involved in the IMPACT III (M1420-01-0247-FEDER-000024) project as a research fellow and has published 3 papers in peer-reviewed journals. Professional experience as a Lab Tech in the wine industry.
