Background
Viviana Martins earned her PhD in Plant Biology in 2014, by University of Minho, funded by FCT (mixed grant SFRH/BD/64587/2009), with periods abroad in University of California Davis (USA), and in CBBC (Tunisia). VM started her post-doc in 2014, in IBMC (i3S) of University of Porto, as grantee of two research projects, and was then awarded a FCT post-doc grant (SFRH/BPD/107905/2015) from late 2015 to 2018. In 2019, she was hired as Post-doctoral Junior Researcher in CBMA, where she currently affiliated.
Research Interests
Viviana Martins research lines are centered on three main research topics: 1) optimization of vineyard mineral supplements for improving grape berry and wine quality (2015 to present); 2) exploitation and preservation of the microbial terroir towards the production of wines with high typicity (2021 to present); 3) optimization of the use of native grape berry microbial strains as biocontrol agents for sustainable agriculture (2022 to present).
