Evora, Portugal

Technology transfer in bioinformatics and genomics. Created research projects with computer scientists for development of a tool for variant detection using natural language processing. Organized and held bioinformatics workshops in Portugal and Germany.

Lectured and examined in Molecular Biology, Genomics and Biochemistry courses. Research; studies of the autophagy process in barley : Fusarium gramineraum interaction; Fusarium gramineraum : starch granule interaction; and studies of transgenic barley with altered starch composition.

Worked with barley genomics creating a physical and genetic map. Worked in several interdisciplinary projects for example; (i) development of high throughput SNP assay (ii) algorithm for selection of overgo probes from a unigene dataset and (iii) an algoithm for detection of single feature polymorphisms. Studied abiotic stress tolerance on barley using the in-house created Affymetrix barley microarray. Headed the labs microarray database and coordinated experiments with external collaborators. Trained and supervised other lab members and formal, in-residence UCR visitors from Norway, Spain, India, Pakistan, Italy and Japan on the analysis of microarray data.
