Curriculum Vitae

António José Leitão das Neves Almeida

António J. Almeida is Professor of Pharmaceutical Technology at the University of Lisbon, Faculty of Pharmacy, where he currently serves as President of the Scientific Board and leader of the Advanced Technologies for Drug Delivery Research Group of the Research Institute for Medicines and Pharmaceutical Sciences (iMed.ULisboa). He was a Visiting Scientist at the Free University of Berlin, Germany (1995/1996), and the Center for Research in Molecular Medicine and Chronic Diseases (CIMUS), University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain (2012), being currently Visiting Professor of the doctoral programme of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Seville, Spain. His research interests involve protein drug and vaccine delivery using nanoparticulate carriers produced with polymers (e.g. PLGA, PCL) and solid lipids (SLN). He started his research work in this field during his PhD studies at the University of Aston, Birmingham, UK (1993), achieving pioneer results on nasal immunisation with antigen-adsorbed PLGA nanoparticles and describing, for the first time, the uptake and translocation of nanoparticles at the rat's nasal mucosa. He also demonstrated the preferential lymphatic distribution of inhaled SLN and supercritical fluid technology was explored as an alternative to prepare protein and antigen-containing SLN. New approaches to next generation vaccines are being developed to overcome antimicrobial resistance of gastrointestinal mucosal pathogens and to break the relationship between periodontitis and Alzheimer´s disease. Since 1996 he has been regularly involved as a quality expert in the evaluation of new medicines, both at national (INFARMED) and international (European Medicines Agency) levels. He has supervised several Post-Docs, PhD and MSc students, published more than 150 publications and 5 patents.
