Luís Miguel Candeias Martins will be defending his PhD thesis in Biotechnology and Biosciences at Instituto Superior Técnico, Tuesday the 18th of May 2021, at 14:00 (https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/82200706553). During the last years, and under the supervision of Prof. Isabel Sá-Correia from BSRG-iBB, Luís studied the genetic tolerance determinants for multiple stresses in S. cerevisiae and the potential of oleaginous red yeasts for the efficient carbon substrates conversion present in pectin-rich hydrolysates. The title of his thesis is “Valorisation of pectin-rich agro-industrial residues by yeasts: Potential and Challenges”.
