Tirou o curso de Medicina Veterinária na Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, Moçambique, país onde trabalhou 10 anos em investigação e extensão veterinária. Fez o mestrado e o doutoramento em Fisiologia Reprodutiva na Universidade de Texas A&M e um pós-doutoramento em biotecnologias reprodutivas na Louisiana State University. Actualmente é membro do Colégio Europeu de Reprodução Animal (ECAR), é Professor Catedrático de Teriogenologia no Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar da Universidade do Porto e responsável pelo Centro de Reprodução Animal de Vairão (CRAV) da mesma universidade. É leitor convidado regular em Texas A&M nas áreas de teriogenologia de equinos e bovinos. Graduated as Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the Veterinary Faculty of the University Eduardo Mondlane, Mozambique. Worked in that country for 10 years in research and extension services. Obtained a Masters and PhD degree from Texas A&M University and worked for the extension service of that university, followed by a PostDoc in reproductive biotechologies at Louisiana State University. Presently, is a European Specialist in Animal Reproduction (European College of Animal Reproduction - ECAR), professor of theriogenology at the Abel Salazar Biomedical Institute of the University of Porto , and is a regular invited lecturer at Texas A&M University in the area of equine and bovine theriogenology.
