Research Interests
Bioinformatics with a focus in database construction for storage of large
datasets and their subsequent exploration.
Ecology of yeasts in aqueous
environments, especially characterization of medium- to long-term trends and
conditioning factors.
Yeast detection and fast identification techniques.
Current Projects
-
Conceptual optimization of ARDRA for fast yeast
identification purposes (not funded), in collaboration with Dep. de Informática.
-
Data
pipeline development for homology and evolution characterization at genomic
level (not funded).
-
Design
and management of a database for data resulting from epidemiological studies
of Group A Streptococci (GAS) (not funded).
-
"Utilização
de leveduras como bio-indicadores de poluição em ambientes estuarinos e
costeiros" (POCI/MAR/58130/2004), participation.
