Research interests

ENVIRONMENT & POLLUTION:
• Bioremediation of mine areas (uranium, iron, and others)
• Bioremediation for sustainable aquaculture production
• Terrestrial & aquatic Ecotoxicology
• Environmental Microbiology
• Environmental Biotechnology

MICROBIOLOGY & HEALTH:
• Study of the structure of the microbiome associated with colorectal cancer. Research work approved by the Ethics Committee and Administration Board of Centro Hospitalar do Baixo Vouga, E.P.E., being developed in collaboration with different hospitalar services of this institution.
• Screening of new bioative substances to fight the progression of pancreatic cancer. Study approved by the Ethics Committee and Administration Board of Centro Hospitalar de Entre o Douro e Vouga, E.P.E., being developed in collaboration with this institution.
• Biotechnology: screening for bioactive substances naturally synthesized by microorganisms for different clinical applications (e.g., clinical infections, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and colorectal cancer).
