Short Bio:

Emeritus Professor Joaquim M.S. Cabral is the first Distinguished IST Full Professor (2015) due to his outstanding contribution to IST and was the Founding Director of the Department of Bioengineering at IST (2010), the Founding Director of the Institute of Bioengineering of Bioengineering and Biosciences and the Founding Coordinator of the doctoral programmes in Bioengineering Systems (MIT-Portugal Program) (2007-2022) and in Bioengineering: Cellular Therapies and Regenerative Medicine (2013-2022). He has been one of the key players in Biotechnology bridging the fields of enzyme, bioprocess and stem cell engineering. His goals have been to integrate engineering principles with fundamental research in cellular, gene and protein biotechnology and to translate them into applications for Industrial and Medical Bioengineering. Joaquim Cabral supervised 60 PhD students and over 40 postdoctoral and research scientists. Joaquim Cabral has published 582 peer-reviewed papers (h-factor 65), 12 Books, 95 Book Chapters and 7 patents.
