We are delighted to announce that Prof. Paula Castilho, Senior Researcher at the Madeira Chemistry Research Centre – CQM – Centro de Química da Madeira (CQM) and Professor of Organic Chemistry and Natural Products at the University of Madeira Students’ Union (UMa), Portugal, will be speaking at SustainNatural – 2026 – Safe and Sustainable Natural Products and Climate-Resilient Innovations Conference, taking place from November 23–25, 2026 in Prague, Czech Republic.
Prof. Castilho’s presentation will explore innovative approaches for transforming brewery by-products into high-value bioactive ingredients. The talk will highlight sustainable strategies for recovering natural compounds from beer production waste and their applications in the development of nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals, supporting circular bioeconomy and resource-efficient innovation.
Paula’s current research focuses on natural products chemistry, analytical chemistry, metabolomics, food authentication, marine and terrestrial bioactive compounds, and the sustainable valorization of agro-industrial by-products. Her work emphasizes the discovery, characterization, and application of natural compounds for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and functional food industries through environmentally responsible approaches.
Prof. Paula C. Castilho is an internationally recognized scientist with extensive expertise in organic chemistry and natural products. As a Senior Researcher at the Centro de Química da Madeira and Professor at the University of Madeira, she has led pioneering research in phytochemistry, metabolomics, and natural bioactive compounds, contributing significantly to sustainable innovation and the circular economy through the valorization of natural resources and industrial residues.
Join us in Prague to discover how innovative waste valorization strategies are unlocking new opportunities for sustainable nutraceutical and cosmeceutical development while advancing the future of circular bioeconomy.
