Phone: +351 21 8417627 (ext: 1627)
Current research interests based on the application of solution and semi-solid NMR to Molecular Toxicology, with focus on:
- Structural characterization of biomarkers of toxicity: covalent adducts formed between (geno)toxic chemical agents and bionucleophiles (eg. DNA bases and amino acids).
- Elucidation of potential bioactivation pathways of xenobiotics.
- The role of competitive binding to human serum albumin on drug- interactions by ligand-based NMR methodologies.
- Development of NMR-based in vitro methods to predict the toxicological potential of organic compounds.
