He holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, specialising in Microbiology, from the University of Coimbra (2014). His postdoctoral training (2015\u20132019), supported by FCT and conducted across Portugal, the USA, Brazil and Germany, examined the molecular basis of nematode-bacteria interactions underlying Pine Wilt Disease. His current research focuses on environmental microbiology (from culturomics to metagenomics), microbial biotechnology, bioprospecting and biological control, with a particular interest in developing sustainable microbial solutions for agriculture and the bioeconomy, and a special interest in bacterial taxonomy. He formerly curated the UCCCB and now leads and contributes to several national and European projects, serving as principal investigator on PHAME, a project advancing sustainable agriculture through PHA-based mulch film innovations with economic impact. He holds editorial responsibilities in leading microbiology journals and is an active member of several microbiology societies, including serving as a Champion of the Microbiology Society, a Board member of the Portuguese Society of Microbiology.&amp;#160;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;\/xhtml:span&gt;"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]]},"references-count":61,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1099\/ijsem.0.007261","relation":{},"ISSN":["1466-5026","1466-5034"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1466-5026","type":"print"},{"value":"1466-5034","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]]}}}
