(Chemical) Bonding is what makes life possible

Currently is head of the Functional Genomics and Proteomics Unit and integrated member of the (Bio)Chem & OMICS, LAQV-REQUIMTE of Nova University of Lisbon. It develops research work focused on the use of omics tools, particularly genomics and proteomics level of various plant, animal and microbial species: i) characterization of genetic resources of wheat, rye and triticale; ii) Proteomics applied to the detection of genes responsible for the functionality and allergenicity of wheat grain, rye and triticale; iii) Genomics and proteomics applied to antibiotic resistance; iv) Nutrigenomics and proteomics applied to the evaluation of protein species and finally, v) Probiotics in biotechnology and health.
