About

The strategic objective of Blue Biotechnology and Bioengineering for Current and Future Development of a Blue Bioeconomy in Portugal – BlueBio4Future –is to place CIIMAR at the forefront of Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) in Blue Biotechnology and Bioengineering.

The ERA Chair holder will establish a high-performing team at CIIMAR, contributing to increasing the knowledge, attractiveness, and competitiveness of CIIMAR in the area of Blue Biotechnology and Bioengineering. This will be done by attracting funds at national and international level, supporting post-graduation studies through the supervision of MSc and PhD students, producing high-quality research outputs, protecting intellectual property and transferring knowledge to stakeholders while contributing to increase literacy in the broad subject areas of Blue Biotechnology and Bioengineering.

Specific objectives of BlueBio4Future:

Becoming an important hub of natural products-related bioengineering at the European Level owing to the research outputs, project portfolio and dissemination related to Marine Biotechnology carried out under the newly established team
Expand the knowledge in synthetic biology, biocatalysis and natural products-related bioprocess, creating synergies between research teams
Attract top students at the University of Porto and international students and post-docs from top-performing institutions
Raise CIIMAR’s profile to that of a leading institution in Marine Biotechnology in Portugal and in Europe
Increase collaborations with academic partners at the national, European and other international levels but also with SMEs or industries due to the potential for technology patenting and licensing at CIIMAR
