[EN] Tânia Caetano is an Assistant Researcher (CEEC2017) at the Centro de Estudos do Ambiente e do Mar (CESAM) and Department of Biology (DBio) of the University of Aveiro. She is interested in the knowledge of the biosynthetic mechanisms involved in the production of secondary metabolites in prokaryotes (Bacteria and Arquea) with several biological activities (antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antiviral, etc). She has specialized in the production of ribosomal peptides with post-translational modifications (RiPPs), mainly lantipeptides and halocins. Currently, she works with several bacterial and haloarchaea species. In her research, she applies a multiomics approach involving genome, transcriptome and proteome analysis, together with various Molecular Biology techniques.
