I am a nephrologist at the Unidade Local de Saúde de Santo António in Porto and an Invited Assistant Professor and researcher in the Nephrology, Dialysis & Transplantation group at UMIB / ICBAS, University of Porto.

My work sits between the clinic and the lab. I study how the kidney works and how it is injured, and I try to catch those changes in urine and blood before they show up as lost function — using metabolomics, proteomics, and, increasingly, machine learning to make sense of the data. I am also interested in ageing, and in testing new approaches to slow, halt, or reverse it in the human body.

I trained in medicine and completed a PhD in Medical Sciences at ICBAS, University of Porto, and I teach physiology and nephrology in the Integrated Master in Medicine there.

I am always glad to hear from people working on kidney biomarkers, ageing, or computational methods in clinical data.
