Currículo Resumido

Hugo M. Botelho is a Junior Researcher at the BioISI research centre of the Faculty of Sciences University of Lisbon. Scientist with a strong expertise in Cystic Fibrosis, high-content screening, microscopy, cell biology, bioimage analysis and drug discovery. Has authored 29 original peer reviewed publications, 4 book chapters, supervised students and post-docs and been involved in several scientific research projects, both as team member and principal investigator. Co-responsible for FCUL Microscopy Facility and manager of BioISI High-Throughput Screening Facility.


Interesses Científicos

Os meus interesses de investigação são a identificação e caracterização de proteínas e pequenas moléculas que regulam o tráfego intracelular da proteína CFTR na Fibrose Quística. Também desenvolvo ensaios de rastreamento de alto conteúdo, rotinas de análise de imagens biológicas (ImageJ, CellProfiler) e produtos de ciência de dados (R, Python) para a visualização, controlo de qualidade e normalização de dados de rastreamento biomolecular.


Scientific Interests

My research interests are the identification and characterization of proteins and small molecules which regulate the intracellular traffic of the CFTR protein in Cystic Fibrosis using microscopy and high throughput screening methods. I also develop high content screening assays, automated bioimage analysis routines (ImageJ, CellProfiler) and data science products (R, Python) for data visualization, quality control and data normalization in biomolecular screening datasets.
