Biography
Nuno graduated in Genetics and Microbial Biology (2006) and has a MSc in Molecular Biology and Genetics (2008) from the University of Lisbon. He finished his PhD in Cell Biology and Virology from Imperial College, London in 2012 and then worked as a PostDoc at the University of Cambridge. He is currently a researcher at CBIOS and an Assistant Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at Lusófona University and at the Lisbon University Faculty of Sciences. His research as a Principal Investigator at CBIOS has been focused on the impact of Ca2+ and ROS on cellular processes associated with cancer progression, namely cell survival/death and motility. He has also been deeply involved in several projects aimed at accessing the safety and efficacy of novel bioactives, ingredients to be used in health products using human cell-based techniques.
