Cecília R.C. Calado (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5264-9755 & cecilia.calado@isel.pt) is a Coordinating Professor with Habilitation at the Lisbon Superior Institute of Engineering, Polytechnic University of Lisbon. She is the coordinator of the MSc program in Biomedical Engineering and the R&D Laboratory in Medical Bioengineering. She holds a BSc in Biochemistry (a 5-year university degree), an MSc and a PhD in Biotechnology, and a Habilitation in Biochemistry. Her research combines analytical techniques—used to acquire the molecular fingerprint of biological systems—with machine learning algorithms to develop bioprocess monitoring techniques (in situ, real-time, or high-throughput at-line) as part of Process Analytical Technology (PAT). Additionally, she develops platforms for drug discovery and development, including antibiotics and vaccines, and identifies biomarkers for medical diagnosis and prognosis based on omics.
