Principais Temas de Investigação
Major areas of research, each of which includes both basic and applied lines of research:
- Strategies to improve human nutrition, and human and plant disease
•Search for natural peptides, proteins and secondary metabolites exhibiting bioactivity at the level of inflammation, cancer and nutrition - Animal models (weaned piglets and man).
•Assessment of the effect of digestion on the bioavailability of ingested, natural bioactive peptides, proteins and secondary metabolites – Animal models (rats) and human intervention studies.
•Transcriptomic, proteomic, glycomic & metabolomic analyses of the interaction host/pathogenic fungi; major fungi under study: the human pathogens Aspergillus fumigatus and Alternaria alternata, and the fungi responsible for the esca disease of grapevine;
•Lectins, exoglycome and cancer;
•Action mechanisms of blad antifungal polypeptide;
•Search & development of novel and non-toxic fungicides, active against human, animal and plant pathogens; special focus on multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and the following plant pathogens: the esca causing fungi in grapevine, Phytophthora cinamommi in cork oak, and Xilella fastidiosa in olive tree and grapevine
• Stereochemical studies on dirigent protein function;
• Differential approaches for the recombinant expression of non-natural polypeptides by bacterial, yeast and plant cells to develop methods for human and plant disease control;
•Development of specific bioelectronic methodologies capable of detecting and treating grapevine plants infected with esca and other recalcitrant wood disease-causing fungi.
- The wine proteins
• Elucidation of the chemical mechanism(s) responsible for wine protein haze formation;
• Structural identification of the X factor(s).
