Juliana R. Dias obtained her PhD in Biomedical Sciences in the end of 2017 from the University of Porto, with the thesis entitled: “Hierarchical electrospun nanostructures for skin regeneration”. Since July is Auxiliar Researcher and since last January she is Vice-director at the Centre for Rapid and Sustainable Product Development focused on electrospun-based biostructures able to promote tissue regeneration and efficient drug delivery.

In the last 5 year was Invited Assistant Teacher of Biomechanics of tissues and Biomimetic in Polytechnic Institute of Leiria. Up to now published 21 articles on indexed international peer-reviewed journal, 14 conference abstracts/posters, 1 book chapter, 1 book, 14 oral communications, 2 patent registered and received 2 awards and 2 distinctions. Co-supervised 3 MSc dissertation, 9 BSc project, 6 researcher master fellows and 9 tutoring/mentoring. Currently, she is supervisor of 10 students (4 PhD( 3 of them funded by FCT), 2 Master students, 3 research fellows and 1 trainee), and remote evaluator of European Commission.

Regarding projects was researcher fellow of 4 projects, researcher team member of 7 projects (3 ongoing), PI of 1 ANI project and was involved in the submission of several project proposals (national and international) (~10M€).

Her main research interests include Electrospinning, Electrospun wound dressings, Tissue Engineering, Biofabrication, Additive Manufacturing, Biomaterials and its characterizations.
