Francisco Esteves | Biotech Eng., PhD (BioMedical Sciences) Assistant Professor Escola Superior de Saúde (ESS) Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal (IPS) ORCID ID: ORCID.ORG/0000-0002-3046-1313 Scopus Author ID: 35306794500 (FCT) Ciência ID: 7913-2CCE-CACC F Esteves graduated in Biotechnological Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering, Universidade Lusófonade Humanidades e Tecnologia (FE-ULHT), in 2003. He subsequently occupied the position of research fellow at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC; Evolutionary Ecology of Microorganisms Group, 2005). F Esteves obtained his PhD degree in 2010, from the Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (IHMT, UNL), in Biomedical Sciences. During this period, F Esteves acquired expertise in the field of Biomedical Sciences and Molecular Genetics. Volunteer Researcher (2011) and Postdoc fellow (IHMT, UNL) (2012-2015) in the areas of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, focused on population genetics of pathogenic microorganisms, antibiotic/drug-resistance, and development of new diagnostic tools, based on potential biomarkers approaches. With the aim of studying xenobiotic metabolism and toxicogenomics, and its role in health and disease in humans, F Esteves occupied a Postdoc position at the Xenobiotic Metabolism lab, ToxOmics, NOVA Medical School (NMS|FCM, UNL) (2016-2018), focusing on cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism, with special attention to electron transfer function of cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and its physiological relevance. Between December 2018 and November 2024, F Esteves was Researcher Scientist (Investigador Doutorado, DL/57) at the Xenobiotic Metabolism lab, studying: a) the protein dynamics and genetic variability in the metabolism of Xenobiotics and Endobiotics, and its role in efficacy and adverse events (Adverse Drug Reactions - ADR, Drug-induced liver injury - DILI), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and Healthy-to-NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) transition; b) the role of Extracellular Vesicles in the context of NAFLD and drug metabolism/chemotherapy resistance in Breast Cancer. Since December 2024, F Esteves is Assistant Professor at ESS/IPS, Dept. of Biomedical Sciences (DCBM). The DCBM operates at the interface of Health and Biology, driving innovation through three strategic pillars of excellence in biomedical sciences: comprehensive educational programs, advanced research, and impactful community initiatives. F Esteves is responsible for Curricular Units in the Graduation Course in Biomedical Technology, including Cellular and Molecular Biology, Genetics and Genotoxicity, and Medical Devices I (in collaboration with Escola Superior de Tecnologia de Setúbal, ESTS/IPS), and for Biophysics and Biochemistry in the Graduation Course in Nursing at ESS/IPS. F Esteves also lectures in the Curricular Units of Applied Biology (Laboratory practical component, Graduation Course in Bioinformatics, in collaboration with Escola Superior de Tecnologia do Barreiro, ESTB/IPS) and Tissue Regeneration (Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering, in collaboration with ESTS/IPS). Since 2011, F Esteves lectured two PhD and six MSc Courses at UNL (IHMT and NMS|FCM), was Invited Assistant Professor in two BSc Courses (Biotechnology; Genetics and Genotoxicity) (IPS), and five BSc Courses in Food Engineering (ULHT). He was supervisor/co-supervisor of in total 26 research trainees (16 MSc theses, three BSc thesis, seven Advanced Training Courses), and participated in the juries of five PhD and seven MSc defenses. F Esteves is member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Xenobiotics (MDPI, since 2020) and Trusted Reviewer in one international Scientific Society (ESCMID, since 2015). F Esteves published 35 papers (in international peer-review journals), one book chapter and is co-author of one patent; 956 citations by 644 documents; 17 h-index (Scopus database, 03-01-2025).
