Marco Lemos is an Associate Professor with Habilitation at the University of Leiria and Oeste and a principal researcher at the Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre (MARE). His research focuses on stress physiology and biochemistry, marine biotechnology, and the sustainable use of marine resources to develop solutions for industry. He has held several scientific leadership positions, including Coordinator of MARE-IPLeiria and the Marine Resources Research Group (GIRM), Coordinator of the national MARE Biotechnology research line, and Coordinator of CETEMARES building (Marine Sciences R&D, Education, and Knowledge Dissemination Centre). He is also a member of the Executive Board and Guidance Council of Campus do Mar, an international network of excellence. Marco Lemos has coordinated and participated in numerous national and international research projects involving academia and industry (>20M Eur), and he is the author of more than 150 scientific publications, as well as international patents, books, and book chapters.Carina Félix is a researcher at the Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre (MARE) and the University of Leiria and Oeste. She holds a PhD in Biology, with a specialization in Microbiology, from the University of Aveiro. Her interdisciplinary research combines microbiology, plant pathology, marine biotechnology, and sustainable agriculture, with a particular focus on plant–pathogen interactions and the development of bio-based strategies for crop protection. Her current work explores the valorisation of marine resources, especially seaweed-derived bioactive compounds, to develop sustainable solutions for agriculture. She has coordinated and contributed to several national and international research and innovation projects and has experience in the supervision of PhD, MSc, and undergraduate students.
