PhD Student
Andreia Veloso, MSc, graduated in Biochemistry in 2016 at the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD). She was a PhD student (FCT grant, 2018) of the Chemical and Biological Science PhD program of UTAD.
Her PhD project aimed to develop carbon nanomaterials that can mimic antioxidant enzymes, envisaging two different applications: the electrochemical sensing of hydrogen peroxide and the protection of cells under oxidative stress conditions and was developed with the co-supervision of Maria C.Oliveira (UTAD/CQ-VR), Romeu A. Videira (FCUP/LAQV) and Nuno Cerqueira (FMUP/BioSIM).
