Current Position
-Instructor at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, USA
Academic degrees
- PhD in Biochemistry by the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologias da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT-UNL), Portugal, 2011
- Graduation in Applied Chemistry and specialization in Organic Chemistry by the FCT-UNL, Portugal, 2007
Additional Training
- Post-graduate course in Speciation and Bioavailability by the Wageningen University, The Netherlands, 2011
Research Topics
- Analytical Chemistry; Ecotoxicoproteomics; Ecotoxicology; Nanoparticles and Nanotoxicity; Biomarkers research
Scientific Interests
- His research has been mainly focused on the development of methodologies for separation and identification of proteins and metalloproteins. He has significance experience in several techniques, such as Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Matrix –Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), sonochemistry and electrochemistry.
Currently his research is focused on the study of the environmental impact of manufactured nanoparticles in freshwater organisms.
