Armindo José Alves da Silva Salvador graduated in Biochemistry by the University of Lisbon in 1988, and obtained a Ph. D. in Biochemistry in 1997 from the same University. He was a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute for Chemical and Biological Technology (Portugal) (1997-8, Membrane Biophysics), at the University of Michigan (U.S.A.) (1998-2000, Computational Systems Biology) and at the University of Coimbra (Portugal) (2002-5, Molecular Systems Biology), a research fellow at Pfizer Global Research & Development/The University of Michigan (2000-2) and a visiting scholar at the University of California - Davis (U.S.A.) (2002, Molecular Systems Biology). Since 2005 he leads the Computational and Systems Biology Group at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology - The University of Coimbra. Dr. Armindo Salvador's main research interests are focused on the relationship between function and design in signaling and metabolic networks, with emphasis on redox signaling and antioxidant protection. His work in this area has been published in prestigious journals such as Nature Biotechnology, PNAS (3), PLoS Computational Biology, Redox Biology, and Free Radical Biology and Medicine, in papers where he is first, corresponding and/or senior author. Being committed to advanced education in systems and computational biology, Dr. Salvador organized numerous courses and symposia in this area, and coordinates the "International Summer School in Computational Biology - from molecules to tissues" since 2015. He is currently the President of the Portuguese Biophysical Society (2021-), and member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Theoretical Biology (2009-).
