Dr Salome De Sa Magalhaes
Post-Doctoral Research Associate
Since joining UCL in 2019, Salomé has gained expertise in addressing key challenges in the scale-up and optimisation of vaccine bioprocessing.
This has complemented her previous experience from her PhD at IST (Portugal) and Nofima (Norway), focusing on the development of new strategies to improve DNA vaccine resistance to nucleases. Including the use of marine resources as DNAse inhibitors. Furthermore, as Head of Biology (Orphida), Salomé also has experience in developing point-of-care diagnostics.
Currently her research interests focus on strategies for simplified process development and quality control to accelerate vaccines to market, namely by introducing versatile and continuous platform processes.
