About
Aline Carvalho da Costa is a chemical engineer whose research focuses on the intersection of bioprocess engineering and enzymatic technology. Her work is particularly centered on developing innovative strategies to overcome inhibition in enzymatic reactions, a critical challenge in industrial biotechnology. In her most-cited study, "A robotic platform to screen aqueous two-phase systems for overcoming inhibition in enzymatic reactions" (2019), she pioneered a high-throughput robotic method to rapidly identify optimal aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) that can mitigate product or substrate inhibition, thereby enhancing reaction efficiency. This contribution is significant because it automates and accelerates the screening process, reducing time and resource costs for researchers in fields like biocatalysis and green chemistry. With 13 citations, her work has already influenced subsequent studies in reaction engineering and process intensification. Costa’s achievements demonstrate her ability to combine automation with fundamental biochemical principles, offering a practical tool for scaling up enzymatic processes. Her research is particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in sustainable chemical production, as it provides a systematic approach to solving one of the most persistent bottlenecks in enzyme-based manufacturing.
