About
Joana Castro Gomes is a researcher at the forefront of bioprocess engineering, specializing in the innovative application of aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) to overcome critical challenges in enzymatic reactions. Her most cited work, "A robotic platform to screen aqueous two-phase systems for overcoming inhibition in enzymatic reactions" (2019, 13 citations), exemplifies her pioneering approach to integrating automation with biochemical separation science. By developing a high-throughput robotic screening platform, Gomes has significantly accelerated the identification of optimal ATPS conditions, directly addressing product inhibition—a major bottleneck in industrial biocatalysis. This contribution not only enhances the efficiency of enzymatic processes but also reduces the time and resources required for experimental optimization. Her research bridges the gap between fundamental phase equilibrium studies and practical bioprocess design, offering scalable solutions for sustainable chemical production. With her work gaining traction among peers, Gomes is establishing herself as a key figure in advancing smart, automated methods for bioprocess intensification, making her research highly relevant for students and professionals aiming to modernize enzymatic reaction engineering.
