«This scientific event is a testimony to Professor Joaquim Sampaio Cabral‘s scientific legacy in the areas of Enzyme Engineering, Bioprocess Engineering and Stem Cell Engineering.
The workshop will feature presentations by current colleagues from the Department of Bioengineering and the Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences, who were his doctoral and post-doctoral students and researchers with whom he has worked closely.
This session is coordinated by professor Raquel Aires Barros, his first PhD student.
Professor Jonathan Dordick, colleague, friend and collaborator, will speak at the beginning of the session.»
