Background
Diogo Coelho is a Geneticist and Biotechnologist (2013, UTAD), with a MSc in Technologic, Comparative and Molecular Genetics (2015, UTAD) and a PhD in Veterinary Sciences with specialization in Biological and Biomedical Sciences (2022, University of Lisbon). Between 2022 and 2023 he was a postdoc fellow at CBMA – University of Minho, where is currently an Invited Auxiliary Researcher.
Research Interests
He is working on implementing new biorefinery systems for the advanced processing of algal biomass to new value-added products. Through different algal biomass processing methods, the main goal is the optimized extraction of different algal compounds using a biorefinery system and its subsequent transformation into value-added products using enzymes, providing the valorisation of macroalgae.
