Short CV

Iola F. Duarte is currently a Principal Researcher in the field of cell metabolism and metabolomics at CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials, Department of Chemistry, University of Aveiro (UA). She studied Biochemistry & Food Chemistry at the University of Aveiro, and received her Ph.D degree in Chemistry from the same University in 2003. After working as a post-doctoral fellow in joint projects between CICECO-UA and Imperial College London (2003-2006) / Faculty of Medicine-University of Coimbra (2006-2007), she became assistant researcher at CICECO-UA, under the FCT program Ciência 2007. Since 2015, she has held the position of Principal Researcher at the same institution, under the programs Investigador FCT 2014 (IF/01439/2014) and CEEC Individual 2018 scientific employment stimulus (CEECIND/02387/2018), having been awarded a permanent contract at UA in 2020. 

I.F. Duarte published over 95 papers, 75% in Q1 Journals, with > 3800 citations (h-index 37, source: Scopus). She is also (co)author of 10 book chapters and over 150 conference abstracts (of which 17 were published in SCI Journals). Additionally, I.F. Duarte has delivered 25 talks by invitation, 10 at International conferences and 15 at National meetings, and 10 oral communications (call for participation) at International meetings. She has coordinated 6 research projects with competitive funding and has participated as team member in 13 other projects. She has been a UA representative in a Collaboration Agreement with Bruker BioSpin and in two European Inter-Laboratory Comparisons (2014, 2016). I.F. Duarte has supervised 3 post-doctoral researchers, 10 PhD students (4 ongoing), 21 MSc students (4 ongoing), 19 undergraduates and 5 Scientific Initiation grantees. She has also hosted 8 researchers/students from foreign Universities (e.g., within the Erasmus+ Programme) and she has been awarded an Invited Professor position at the University of Bari to teach a Metabolomics Course (Oct-Nov 2019). Additionally, I.F. Duarte has been active in organizing scientific events, participating in Juris and evaluation panels, acting as Guest Editor, Editorial Board member and Reviewer for several Journals and promoting science dissemination. In 2021, she has been honored in the 3rd edition of the book 'Mulheres na Ciência' (Women in Science) by 'Ciência Viva', the national agency for scientific and technological culture.
