Jorge F. B. Pereira is Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology, University of Coimbra (Portugal). He is also member and vice-Director of CIEPQPF - Chemical Process Engineering and Forest Products Research Centre at the Univ Coimbra and accredited Professor of the Graduate Program of ?Bioscience and Biotechnology applied to Pharmacy? at the São Paulo State University (UNESP). He earned is M.Sc. (2008) in Biological Engineering at the University of Minho, Portugal, and during his M.Sc. he performed a six-month internship at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the University of São Paulo, Brazil. He obtained his Ph.D. (2013) in Chemical Engineering at University of Aveiro with Prof. João A. P. Coutinho (best thesis in technologies and natural sciences of the Mário Quartin Graça scientific award). He was a postdoctoral fellow (2013-2014) at The University of Alabama, USA, with Prof. Robin D. Rogers in a joint project with the MIT/Novartis research center. From 07/2014 to 12/2019, Jorge Pereira was Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioprocesses and Biotechnology, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the São Paulo State University (UNESP). Since 2014, Jorge Pereira is leading the research team "BioPPuL - Bioproducts' Production and Purification Lab", which focus on developing sustainable biotechnological technologies for the production and purification of added-value bioproducts . Currently, Jorge Pereira has as its main research interests: -Development of ionic liquids-based technologies for the biopharmaceuticals purification, particularly using liquid-liquid extraction processes (aqueous biphasic systems); -Integration and scale-up of separation processes; -Development of biotechnological processes with emphasis on fermentation, production, isolation and purification of added-value biomolecules; -Chemical and microbiological enhanced oil recovery technologies; -Study of interactions at molecular level in ionic liquid-based separation processes.

Pharmaceutical industry have been developing more sustainable, biocompatible and efficient biopharmaceuticals separation and purification technologies. Thus, and in a context where sustainable processes and ecological transition is promoted in many developed countries, Aqueous Two-Phase Systems (ATPS) composed of Ionic Liquids (ILs) have appeared in the past years to be a breakthrough tec…
Developing new biopharmaceutical products to deliver pioneer therapies is a major challenge for the pharmaceutical industry nowadays. Increasing competitiveness, innovative capacity and investment constrains push industry to develop better (higher quality (AU)

Polymer micelles (MP) are described as excellent carriers of drugs with low solubility in the aqueous environment, such as curcumin (CCM), an important antitumoral, but despite this, these nanostructures are mostly obtained from methods that use considerable fractions of organic solvents. Thus, considering the concerns related to the high toxicity and flammability, denaturing effect and t…
As an alternative proposal to conventional extraction methods, aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) are an effective tool for the separation and purification of bioactive products. These are liquid-liquid extraction systems composed of two phases that coexist in equilibrium due to the dissolution of at least two pairs of solutes in water, which are selectively distributed between the phases. …
Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) are liquid-liquid extraction systems composed of two phases coexisting in equilibrium as a result of the dissolution in water of at least two pairs of solutes. The formation of two water-rich and immiscible phases, allows the creation of water-rich environment which differs in terms of physico-chemical properties, according to the most concentrated phase-f…

Curcumin (CCM) is a natural polyphenolic compound with antioxidant, antimicrobial and antitumor properties, but its hydrophobicity limits its therapeutic application. Nanotechnology can provide an effective method for improving aqueous solubility of this important drug. In such respects, polymeric micelles (MPs), self-assembly formed nanostructures from amphiphilic surfactants or copolyme…
The Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) has intense and natural fluorescence, being easily quantifiable and having an excellent application as biosensor and biomarker. However, the manifestation of its fluorescence is dependent of the maintenance of the integrity of its protein structure, which is very sensitive to different conditions, such as high temperatures, extreme pH or presence of den…
Advances in biotechnology allowed the discovery of many bioproducts with medical applications, but the instability of some of these molecules in biological systems makes their application very challenging. Finding solvents or formulations that stabilize these biomolecules can be a solution for these difficulties, but greater understanding of the solvent-biomolecule interactions is needed.…
