Researcher

Grupo GHTM: TB, HIV and opportunistic diseases and pathogens, THOP PhD members

ProfileResearchTop 5 Publications

Patrícia Abrantes is a research assistant at Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (IHMT) and at Global Health and Tropical Medicine Center (GHTM) of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (UNL). She holds a PhD in Biomedical Sciences by the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (2007) and a BSc in Biology (2000) by the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon.

At IHMT, she is responsible for the administration and maintenance of the GHTM bioinformatics Hub and also for giving support to GHTM researchers on bioinformatic analyses.

Her scientific activity has been mainly devoted to the identification of human susceptibility genes for different pathologies as well as to host-parasite interaction studies. For that, she has been applying different genome-wide strategies, as well as several computational biology tools.
