Carolina Oliveira Castro graduated in Biology in 2009 at Aveiro University and obtained her PhD in 2016 in Biology at Faculty of Sciences of Porto University. She was postdoctoral researcher in CIIMAR for more than 5 years, where her research was focused on the valorization of alternative ingredients for aquafeeds and development of functional additives with health-boosting effects to be used as a nutritional strategy to improve fish zootechny and disease resistance. She is currently R&D Manager at FLATLANTIC, the largest aquaculture producer in Portugal and the 2nd largest turbot producer in Europe. Carolina has more than 10 years of practical lab experience in academic settings. Of the 44 published papers in peer-reviewed journals(ISI) until now, 13 papers were published as 1st author and 1 as last author, of which: Br J Nutr(3), Aquaculture(10), Aquac Res(1), Amino Acids(1), Comp Biochem Physiol A(3), Comp Biochem Physiol B(1), Aquac Nutr(5) Fish Physiol Biochem(4), Lipids(1), Fish Shellfish Immunol(1), Biofuels, Bioprod. Bioref. (1), Frontiers Veterinary Science (1), Scientific Reports (1), Marine Drugs (1), Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology (1); Journal of Insects as Food and Feed(1); Algal research (1); Animals (2); Antioxidants (1); Fishes (1); Microorganisms (1); J World Aquac. Soc (1). Overall, her work has a total of >980 citations and an h-index of 19. She presented >48 communications (oral and posters) in national and international conferences and was awarded the Best Poster Prize-EAS Student Group Award- in AQUACULTURE EUROPE 2015. She has vast experience in innovation and R&D projects from previous positions both at academia (she was collaborator in more than 10 research projects: 1 MAR2020; 4 FCT; 2 P2020; 2 other national funding agencies (ON.2; CCDRN-Norte2020); 4 industry-funded) and at the moment as R&D coordinator of several R&D projects in aquaculture at FLATLANTIC (2PT2020; 4 Blue Growth). Currently, she supervises/co-supervises 1PhD and 7 MsC students. Besides these, she has already co-supervised and supervised 2 BSc , 5 MsC and 1PhD students. She has been a member of jury grants and master thesis panels.
