Biography

Maria J Rodrigues has a Degree in Biology (Major in Biomedicine) and a

Master’s in Biomedical Sciences. She has interest in exploring new biotech-

nological applications and products from marine organisms (halophytes,

microalgae, macroalgae and marine invertebrates) found in the Algarve

coast. She has been working as a Research Fellow in the Marine Biotech-

nology group under the scope of different projects: SEABIOMED (marine

photosynthetic organisms of the Algarve coast with biomedical applica-

tions, XtremeBio (halophytes: a precious resource nutritional elements and

bioactive compounds, MaNaCruzi (searching for marine origin molecules

against

Trypanosoma cruzi

, and recently Xtreme Gourmet (extremophile

plants in the gourmet cuisine). Since 2014, she has beenworking on her PhD

project: “Unravelling the biotechnological potential of halophytes species of

the Algarve coast”. During this time, she participated in the preparation of

27 scientific articles published in international peer-reviewed journals and

17 communications in national and/or international conferences (oral and

poster).
