Lino Ferreira obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Coimbra in Chemical Engineering (2003) where he worked with Professor Jonathan Dordick (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA) and Professor Helena Gil (University of Coimbra, Portugal). He did postdoctoral work at INEB (Portugal) and MIT (USA) in the laboratory of Professor Robert Langer in the areas of human embryonic stem cells, photocrosslinkable degradable elastomers, biomedical adhesives, antimicrobial materials, and micro- and nanotechnologies. He joined the Center of Neurosciences and Cell Biology and Biocant in October 2007. He has published 40 peer reviewed papers, 11 book chapters, and has 10 issued or pending patents– 5 of which have been licensed to companies in the biomedical industry. |
