Research Activities

Unveiling of new molecular mechanisms of azole resistance in the highly tolerant Candida glabrata species; Study of the molecular and physiologic mechanisms of adaptation to the vaginal tract by C. glabrata, with emphasis in the study of weak organic acid at low pH tolerance; Study of Candida species epidemiology in the area of central Lisbon; Study of new compounds with antifungal properties; Comparative genomics and genome annotation.
