Ana Margarida Pereira, a research grantee at CBMA under the supervision of Raul Machado and Margarida Casal, was awarded the Prize Prof. Doutor Luís Archer for the Best Poster Presentation at the XXXIX Portuguese Genetics Conference by SPG (Sociedade Portuguesa de Genética).
The work presented, entitle "Silk-based polymers functionalized with fibronectin type-II for improved cell adhesion" by Ana Margarida Pereira, Raul Machado, Telma Bernardo, André da Costa, Artur Ribeiro, Tony Collins, Andreia C. Gomes, Isabel Leonor, David Kaplan, Rui L. Reis and Margarida Casal, reports the development of biopolymers functionalized with a cell adhesion domain through genetics, namely recombinant DNA technology, to be used as biomaterials in tissue engineering and biomedical applications.
The XXXIX Portuguese Genetics Conference was held at Braga, from the 25th to the 27th of May 2015.
