Due to COVID19 restrictions Chemforum will now be held online@zoom. Joaquim Marquês will be the 1st speaker and will give a talk on the 24^th of June at 12:00.

Joaquim completed his PhD in 2013 in Molecular Biophysics, FCUL, supervised by Dr. Rodrigo Almeida and Dr. Ana Viana. Currently he's a researcher in the project  “Targeting multi-resistant tuberculosis with new potent isoniazid derivatives: an integrated medicinal chemistry approach”. PTDC/MED-QUI/29036/2017, having won a CEEC junior contract in the last FCT call.

From June 2015  to February 2016: Fellowship under the project NANOBIOSENSE - “Novel nanostructured electrodes towards optimal biosensing”.

From  13 June 2016 to 16 July 2016: Short stay at the Institute of Mechanics from Chinese Academy of Sciences in the Group of Professor Gang Jin under a Collaborative work between Portugal and China upon the 7th Sino-Portugal Scientific and Technological Cooperation Project of 2013-2015, I studied the dependence of protein adsorption with electrical potential using total internal reflection imaging ellipsometry.

From Oct 2016 – Sep 2018: Postdoctoral fellow in the project “Sphingolipid organization in the plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Implication in antifungal mode of action and fungal resistance”. PTDC/BBBBQB/6071/2014.

From 5 Nov 2018 – 16 Dec 2018: Short stay at the Institut für Biologie from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in the Group of Professor Andreas Herrmann under the project “Sphingolipid organization in the plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Implication in antifungal mode of action and fungal resistance.”

He is the co-author of 16 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and 3 book chapters.
