Costas is currently participating in several national and international projects, carries out contracts with the industry, and coordinates a young team of strongly motivated researchers in the field of nutritional immunology as main research line. B. Costas published 109 papers in international peer review journals which translated in an average impact factor of 3.7 per paper and a total of over 2748 citations and h index of 33. B. Costas also published 4 book chapters edited by internationally recognised researchers and publishers and contributed with more than 150 communications in international conferences. B. Costas stayed abroad in 2017 (6 months) at the Department of Biology, University of Cadiz (Spain) in the framework of the outstanding young scientist¿s award to study neuro-endocrine/immune interactions in fish. B. Costas was invited to give state-of-the-art lectures of his field of research in local and international workshops and seminars. B. Costas is currently coordinating 2 Horizon Europe Grants (IGNITION and GRINNAQUA) and 1 national FCT project (IMMUNAA) while being co-PI/beneficiary in 2 FCT projects (LEGATEE and IMMUNOSENS), 1 Eurostars-3 (EarlyCOD), 2 EEA Grants (BREEDFLAT and MICROBOOST) and 1 in the framework of NextGenerationEU (Blue Bioeconomy Pact). B. Costas is also member of the Animal Science PhD Programme Scientific Committee (ICBAS-UP) and CIIMAR¿s Animal Welfare body (ORBEA). B. Costas is currently supervising 14 postdocs, 14 PhD and 7 MSc students. B. Costas belongs to the Editorial Board of Reviews in Aquaculture, Frontiers in Marine Science and Animals.
