António Portugal has a degree in Biology, a Master's in Ecology and a PhD in Biology (Molecular Biology) from the University of Coimbra. He is an Associate Professor at the Department of Life Sciences at UC, where he teaches various courses such as Genetics, Genetic Resources, Plant Pathology and Bioremediation. He is a researcher at the Centre for Functional Ecology and TERRA Associate Laboratory. His main area of research, linked to Microbiology and Mycology, is Biodeterioration, in particular Biodeterioration of Cultural Heritage. He has been working on Biodeterioration since 2005, on various types of support and items of cultural heritage, from paper and parchment documents, paintings, sculptures, stone monuments, among others, research based on various projects that he has led as PI. He has published dozens of scientific articles in international journals in the field. In parallel, he is Director of the FitoLab - Laboratory for Phytopathology of the Pedro Nunes Institute (IPN), where Plant Pathology, and in particular fungal plant diseases, is another of his research areas. This R&D laboratory is dedicated to the detection and investigation of plant pests and diseases. It provides services by carrying out tests for the screening and detection of quarantine organisms, regulated organisms and others, consultancy and research, integrating several consortium projects. He is the scientific coordinator of the Mycology and Virology areas at FitoLab. António Portugal é licenciado em Biologia, Mestre em Ecologia e Doutorado em Biologia (Biologia Molecular) pela Universidade de Coimbra. É Professor Associado no Departamento de Ciências da Vida da UC, onde leciona várias unidades curriculares como Genética, Recursos Genéticos, Fitopatologia e Biorremediação. É investigador do Centro de Ecologia Funcional e do Laboratório Associado TERRA. A sua principal área de investigação, ligada à Microbiologia e à Micologia, é a Biodeterioração, em particular a Biodeterioração de Património Cultural. Trabalha em Biodeterioração desde 2005, em vários tipos de suporte e itens de património cultural, desde documentos em papel e pergaminho, pinturas, esculturas, monumentos em pedra, entre outros, investigação essa alicerçada em vários projetos que tem liderado enquanto PI. Tem dezenas de artigos científicos publicados em revistas internacionais da área. Paralelamente, é Diretor do FitoLab – Laboratório de Fitossanidade do Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN), sendo a Fitopatologia, e em particular as doenças fúngicas das plantas, outra das suas áreas de investigação. Este laboratório de I&D dedica-se à deteção e investigação de pragas e doenças das plantas atuando nas vertentes da prestação de serviços através da realização de ensaios para o despiste e deteção de organismos de quarentena, regulados e outros, consultoria e investigação, integrando projetos em consórcio. É coordenador científico das áreas da Micologia e Virologia no FitoLab.
