I am an Associate Professor at University of Lisbon (Portugal) and a co-founder of Delox, a spin-off that develops automatic bio-decontamination systems. I did post-doctoral research at the University of Southern California (USA) between 1997-2001, served as a research fellow at Mount Allison (Canada), Linköping (Sweden) and Matsuyama (Japan) Universities. I trained as a biochemist and have a PhD in Theoretical Biochemistry from the University of Lisbon. I have teaching experience in systems biology and metabolic regulation. My research interests lie in the quantitative biology of redox regulation and oxidative stress, as well as in the development of new materials to delivery hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide.
