Biography
Elisabete Fernandes holds a PhD degrees in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Minho, Portugal (2013). Her PhD research focused on the detection of Salmonella using a Phage-based Biosensor, which was developed in collaboration with the University of Auburn (USA), the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) and the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL). In 2013 she obtained a Marie Curie Fellowship under the European project: PROSENSE “Cancer Diagnosis: Parallel Sensing of Prostate Cancer Biomarkersâ€. As a post-doc researcher, she worked at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in the development of a Microfluidic device for blood plasma separation, and at Xeptagen S.p.A in the development of a pre-commercial portable medical analysis system for early cancer detection. She has publications in scientific journals, an international patent and several communications in proceedings of international conferences. Her ambitious goal is to obtain a solid knowledge in the area of biosensors, and apply in the current/urgent challenges.
