Graduated in Biology at University of Porto, I have been involved in Cancer Research since 1996, at IPATIMUP/Porto (supervision of Prof. Sobrinho-Simões), working on thyroid cancer genetics. In 1997 GABBA Ph.D. fellow (Porto University) and started in 1998 the Ph.D. at IARC/Lyon on molecular pathology of brain tumors (supervision of Prof. Paul Kleihues / Hiroko Ohgaki / Jose M Lopes). In 2002, post-doc at the VUMC/Amsterdam and IPATIMUP (co-supervision of Prof. Gerrit Meijer / Bauke Ylstra / Prof. Fátima Carneiro), on chromosomal aberrations of gastric tumors. In 2003, appointed Assistant Professor at the Medical Faculty, Minho University, Braga, Portugal, and Associate Professor since 2020. In 2010, at Barretos Cancer Hospital/Brazil, coordinator of the Molecular Oncology Research Center and Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory, in 2015 appointed Scientific Director, and from 2018 to 2021 Executive Director of Research and Teaching Institute. In 2021 was appointed Extraordinary Professor, at Pan African Cancer Research Institute, University of Pretoria, South Africa.
My expertise is in cancer biomarkers across distinct tumor types, and applying different methodologies, from SNP, gene mutations, copy number aberrations to gene expression alterations. Experience in international collaborations: COST – Molecular cytogenetics of solid tumors; Marie Curie Conferences -Genome Architecture in Relation to Disease; SIOP, Brain Tumor Committee; IMMENSE consortium; member and local coordinator of NCI-LACRN; Steering Committee of ICGC; Steering Committee of WIN; member and local coordinator of Mutograph (CRUK Grand Challenge); member of COST TRANSPAN.
