Cátia Beatriz Almeida Ramalhete has been an assistant professor at Atlântica ¿ Instituto Universitário since 2010. She has taught many disciplines such as pharmacology, microbiology, parasitology, and immunology. Her PhD (2010), Search for bioactive compounds from medicinal plants used as antimalarials: the study of Momordica balsamina L, enabled the discovery of a huge number of novel cucurbitane-type triterpenoids using a variety of chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. In vitro biological experiments revealed that the majority of these compounds had anticancer and antimalarial activities. She has been a member of the Natural Product Chemistry Group at the Research Institute for Medicines (imed) since 2013. She has co-authored five book chapters and 25 research publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. She received a GA PhD student Grant Award in 2007 for research presented at the Society for Medicinal Plant Research's 55th Annual Meeting in Graz, Vienne. Her research project also receives the Planta Medica journal's best paper award in 2018. She served on the organizing committee for the International Congress - Natural Products in Drug Discovery and Human Health (NatProdDDH) in 2019, as well as in previous meetings. In addition to her work as a teacher and scientist, she is also a member of the National Agency for Qualification and Professional Education's Pool of External Experts for EQAVET verification. She has visited vocational education schools on multiple occasions for audits and verifications in accordance with the guidelines of the European Quality Assurance Reference Framework for Vocational Education and Training. The advisory service includes report creation for both the preliminary and final EQAVET verification, as well as an audit and verification visit. More recently, in 2021, and for the period 2021-2027, she joins the panel of external reviewers of Erasmus projects, namely action KA171 and KA130.
