Nuno P. Mira
Assistant Professor



Research Activities
Current research interests are focused on: i) Physiology and molecular biology of Candida glabrata, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zygosaccharomyces bailii; ii) Regulation of gene and genomic expression in C. glabrata and S. cerevisiae under environmental stress; iii) Exploitation of S. cerevisae as a cell factory for the production of add-value chemicals; iv) Molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis in C. glabrata; v) Epidemiology of invasive fungal infections; vi) Development of molecular-based diagnosis tools for the early detection of invasive fungal infections
