Curriculum Vitae

Eloísa Toledo Iglesias

Eloísa Toledo Iglesias completed a degree in Biotechnology by the University of León (Spain) (07/2020), a master degree in Marine Biotechnology Resources by the Polytechnic of Leiria (12/2022) and a master degree in Bioinformatics and Biostatistics by the University of Barcelona and Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (02/2024). During the thesis of the first master degree, a reasearch study aiming to find antifungal activities in seaweed extracts against postharvest phytopathogenic fungi that affects Rocha pear was developed. From this work, it was possible to published 1 article in a peer-reviewed journal (SJR Q1 publications) and a poster presentation on an international congress "Smart and Circular Agriculture towards Sustainability 2022" in Porto (Portugal). Currently, she is a PhD student in Pharmaceutical Sciences, specialty in Phytochemistry and Pharmacognosy, at the Faculty of Pharmacy of Porto University (Portugal) and MARE-Polytechnic of Leiria (Portugal). Her research focuses on the control of pre and post-harvest phytopathogenic agents in orchards using seaweeds from the Portuguese Coast.
