Dra. Carmen Lucia Queiroga

Possui graduação em Química pela Universidade de Campinas, mestrado e doutorado na área de produtos naturais – fitoquímica e síntese orgânica pelo Instituto de Química (UNICAMP), sendo parte do doutorado realizado na Alemanha – Georg August Universität Göttingen (bolsista DAAD, 1989-1990). Desde 1996 é pesquisadora do Centro Pluridisciplinar de Pesquisas Químicas, Biológicas e Agrícolas (CPQBA) da Universidade de Campinas. Foi gerente da Qualidade do CPQBA-UNICAMP (06/1999 a 04/2003) e responsável pela DQPN (05/2014 a 08/2015). Atua na área de Química de Produtos Naturais, onde desenvolve pesquisas com extratos de plantas e óleos essenciais. É especialista no isolamento de biomoléculas com ênfase em purificação por cromatografia contracorrente (HSCCC – High Speed Counter Current Chromatography). Entre outros projetos destacam-se o estudo de tensoativos naturais, óleos essenciais e resinas. Tem coordenado projetos financiados pelo CNPq, FAPESP e PETROBRAS. Atualmente é responsável pela Divisão de Química de Produtos Naturais (DQPN).
