Currículo Resumido

Luka Clarke studied Zoology at Bristol University, and then obtained his PhD from London University (Molecular Endocrinology). His post-doctoral work at CGH/INSA in Lisboa concerned alternative splicing of human mismatch repair genes. He later joined the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) group at the University of Lisboa, where he worked on two collaborative EU projects on the development of lab-on-a-chip systems for CF diagnosis. He was awarded a Ciencia 2008 research position at FCUL (2009-2014). He is now an invited auxiliary professor at FCUL and is currently engaged at BioISI in the study of mutation specific expression of the CFTR gene and its implications in personalized CF therapy.
