Area of scientific activity: Scientific activity devoted to the early diagnosis of active or latent tuberculosis (TB) infections as well as the development of new therapeutical approaches to deal with MDRTB and with other drug resistant bacterial infections. Also interested in molecular biology of mycobacteria and immunology of TB. Executive Member of the Scientific Council of the Masters in Medical Microbiology of the UNL. As Deputy-Director of the TB Laboratory of the IHMT (since 2001) has contributed to the resolution of the pulmonary TB problem of Lisbon by the generation of complete reports within a period of 15 to 20 days for 10 Hospitals of the TB Task Force of Lisbon. Over 200 studies published in peer review national and international journals in mycobacteriology, bacteriology, resistance to antibiotics, microbial genetics, molecular epidemiology and immunology.
Domain of specializations: Medical Microbiology, bacteriology, mycobacteriology, laboratory diagnosis of mycobacterial infections, molecular biology and genetics of Mycobacterium sp. Tuberculosis. Molecular typing of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mechanisms and strategies to circumvent drug resistance in mycobacteria, composition of the mycobacterial cell wall/envelope in relation to drug resistance, new antibiotics, antibiotic uptake, efflux-pumps, drug targeting and molecular vectorisation, nanotechnology, flow-cytometry.
Present research interests: Research in tuberculosis and antibiotic resistant infections in support for alternative therapies of incurable diseases such as multidrug resistant tuberculosis and methicillin-vancomycin resistant staphylococcal infections. Immunology of tuberculosis. Strong interests in assisting Portuguese speaking countries of Africa in combating tuberculosis. Expertise in the laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis infections.
