Pedro Fontes Oliveira was conferred his BSc degree in Biochemistry in 1996, at the University of Porto (UP). In 2004, he was conferred a PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences, at the Instituto de Ciencias Biomédicas Abel Salazar from the University of Porto. In 2005, Pedro F. Oliveira started working on a new line of research now focused on Reproductive Biology, specifically in Sertoli cell physiology. Presently, he is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Aveiro. His research interests cover hormonal control and metabolic modulation of spermatogenesis. Special attention is given to Sertoli cells metabolism, and mechanisms by which endocrine disorders/pathologies result in subfertility and infertility.
