November 28 – December 4, 2020 | Boston, Massachusetts
LEPABE Researcher, Dr. Artur Pinto, is part of the organizing committee of the 2020 MRS (Materials Research Society) Fall Meeting and Exhibit – Symposium F.SF05 – Advanced Materials for Additive Manufacturing that will take place on November 28 – December 4, 2020 and will be held in Boston, Massachusetts (USA). This symposium will bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers from chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, medicine, and engineering to discuss recent developments in materials for additive manufacturing and the innovative structures and devices they enable.
#SUMMER@LEPABE
Posted on July 31st, 2020
#Summer@LEPABE is an unique opportunity for students and aspiring researchers to get in touch with R&D developed at LEPABE. This summerschool supported by FCT’s “Escolas de Verão” program, started on July, 29th. For three months, 14 selected students will integrate our team of researchers and have a hands-on experience on ongoing scientific and technological development projets at LEPABE. Furthermore, they will have the opportunity to contribute with their own small projects under guidance from our researchers.
Training will also be complemented with a theoretical component, learning important topics such as laboratory safety, data treatment or research ethics.

Work by LEPABE team is highlighted as cover paper
Posted on July 27th, 2020
The article "In vitro evaluation of microparticles with Laurus nobilis L. extract prepared by spray-drying for application in food and pharmaceutical products" is the cover image in the last issue of Food and Bioproducts Processing (vol. 122), a journal from Elsevier.
This paper resulted from the work developed by Dr. Berta Estevinho and Prof. Fernando Rocha, from the Supramolecular Assemblies group of LEPABE. In this paper microparticles containing Laurus nobilis L. extract were produced by spray-drying, successfully characterized. These particles can now be applied in food and pharmaceutical products.
Access to the cover paper here.
