João Carlos Martins Barreira holds a First Degree in Biotechnological Engineering (Polytechnic Institute of Bragança), a MSc in Chemistry (Faculty of Sciences - University of Porto) and a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Faculty of Pharmacy - University of Porto) prized with a PhD grant from Foundation for Science and Technology (SFRH/BD/29060/2006).

Furthermore, he completed six years of post-Doc research (prized with a post-Doc grant: SFRH/BPD/72802/2010) in University of Porto, National Health Institute Doutor Ricardo Jorge, University of Salamanca and Mountain Research Centre:

A.        2011-2014: Bioactive properties and cytoprotective potential of natural extracts/individual compounds: application of single cell gel electrophoresis and other biochemical, chemical and electrochemical assays;

B.        2014-2017: Molecular profiles of natural extracts/individual compounds and bioactivity evaluation through cytotoxic and/or genotoxic effects). From April 2017 until February 2019, JCMB was a researcher at CIMO (Sustainable Processes and Products group), focusing his activity on the Valorisation of natural resources through the extraction of high-value bioactive ingredients to be incorporated in food formulations.

Research Interest: Natural products, molecular structure elucidation, bioactivity, advanced statistical analysis
