I have started my research career studying transthyretin amyloidosis, developing new anti-TTR monoclonal antibodies and exploring their use in the diagnosis and therapy of the disease. Based on this early work, anti-TTR immunosorbents were used the 90s in a pilot trial of immunoapheresis for the treatment of the disease in 6 patients [Costa & Costa. Amyloid 1998;5:143-4]. I maintain an active interest in the study of the molecular pathology of amyloidosis [Beirão et al. Clin Nephrol. 2010;74:327-35; Moreira et al. Amyloid 2015;22:93-9]. In the last decade, my main interests were the study of epilepsy and autoimmune diseases, with a focus on genetic determinants of susceptibility, disease course and presentation, and their interaction with environmental factors [Bettencourt et al. J Immunol Res. 2015;2015:948723; Bettencourt et al. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2017 Sep 22. pii: S0960-0760(17)30264-9]. With the acquisition of in-house NGS capability, my main focus is now the exploration of the role of the microbiome in autoimmune disease.
