个人简介
Graduated in Biology (University of Évora – Portugal, 2000) with PhD in Biology/Biotechnology (Universidade de Lisboa, FCUL – Portugal, 2006). The special strength of my scientific career comes from my early mobility in science, starting with a scientific project developed under the ERASMUS program in the School of Agricultural and Forestry Engineering of Lleida (1999/2000, Spain). Later on, my internationalization in science was strongly linked to application, involving private companies from different sectors. In that frame I made, in 1999/2000, a short stay in the Geisenheim Research Institute (Geisenheim – Germany), financed by the Portuguese company PLANSEL SA, to gain expertize in the development of somatic embryogenesis protocols for in vitro grapevine plant propagation. More recently, as principle scientist (36 % of my time) and fellow in an European project (AGRO-AMF-AOX, FP7-PEOPLE-2009-IAPP, ref.: 251464), I was seconded (2 months in 2011 and 8 months in 2012) to the SME INOQ GmbH (Solkau – Germany), to exchange experience and knowledge on molecular biology techniques. There I have worked on the production of beneficial fungi (mycorrhiza, AMFs) for sustainable agriculture and on the establishment of a new molecular biology laboratory.
With a strong background in plant biotechnology and molecular biology achieved during my PhD research (2000-2006), focused in the development of grapevine plants resistant to pathogenic fungus following a transgenic approach, I was engaged to lead the Lab. of a Marie Curie Chair at the University of Évora - Instituto de Ciências Agrárias e Ambientais Mediterrânicas (ICAAM, http://www.en.icaam.uevora.pt/). My strong engagement as principle PostDoc scientist at the Marie Curie Chair Lab. was running first, with a PostDoc fellowship (FCT ref.: SFRH/ BPD/ 27016/2006 and) and later with a contract award in the frame of the FCT program “Contrato Ciência 2008”. Since the beginning I was engaged as team member in different research projects that have been running at national (PTDC/EBB-BIO/099268/2008, PTDC/AGR-GPL/099263/2008, EXPL/AGR-FOR/1324/2013, PRODER Medida 4.1 e EXCL/AGR-PRO/0038/2012, PTDC/AGRPRO/2003/2014 e ALT20-03-0145-FEDER-000014) and international levels (FP7-SME-2012: FEED-CODE and AGRO-AMF-AOX, FP7-PEOPLE-2009-IAPP, ref.: 251464). I was also involved in the initiation and development of innovative projects and technologies related to functional markers development. On that frame I have got approved, as PI, a FCT project (EXCL/AGR-PRO/ 0038-2012) and a FCT Bilateral Cooperation (PT-India), and I was the Portuguese coordinator of a European project (FP7-SME-2012: FEED-CODE).
Currently I am still working at ICAAM, integrated in the group of Genetic Resources and Functional Genomics, responsible of the ICAAM’s Molecular Biology Laboratory. Besides working in molecular markers development with view of different application (food/feed traceability and plant breeding), the main focus of my research is now moved to a more fundamental research topic, which is financed by a FCT fellowship ref.: SFRH/BPD/109849/2015 and integrated in the project OLEAVALOR (ALT20-03-0145-FEDER-000014). This research is focused on the study of the molecular mechanisms associated with plant plasticity upon environmental stresses, with special focus for the mechanisms associated with differences on the efficiency to develop adventitious roots. To try to get answers on that research topic there were selected as main research lines: identification of functional polymorphisms (SNSps, InDels and Transposable elements) following the genome sequencing approach, study of differential gene expression (RNAseq and RT-qPCR) and identification and validation of miRNA (miRNAseq and RT-PCR).
