About

Paula Brandão graduated in Biological Engineer from the University of Minho in 1993 and completed a phD degree in Inorganic Chemistry with title "Synthesis structure and reactivity of novel microporous materials", from the Department of Chemistry in University of Aveiro in January of 1999. In February of 1999, started a post-doc position at UMIST/Manchester/England working in project entitled “Catalytic activity of novel heteogeneous microporous catalysts for petroleum industry application”.
Paula Brandão has been a research assistant in the Centre for Research in Ceramics and Composite Materials (CICECO) since June 2009 until May 2014 and research assistant at TEMA−NRD, Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Aveiro since june 2014 until May 2015. Actually Paula is in charge of maintenance and trainnig of new users in handling the single crystal X-ray machines and in solving structures using different methodologies.
My current research interests include both synthesis and characterisation of:
- Polinuclear Cu and Fe complexes with different bio-ligands (DNA bases- adenine and guanine, Vitamin B3 and Vitamin B1), and polypyridyl ligands as alternative anti-tumoral drugs including cytotoxic and DNA binding studies;
- Bio-metal-organic framewoks as potential delivery vehicles for therapeutic nitric oxide;
- Multinuclear transition metal compounds (Cu, Co, Mn, and Fe) with important magnetic properties to be used in quantum information at room temperature;
