Graduated in 2000 from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Lisbon. After a short time dedicated in full to clinical work with cattle, started applied research in the field of bovine mastitis at the aforementioned Faculty. Did a 3-year residency at the University of Glasgow Veterinary School for the European College of Bovine Health Management, and is a diplomate of this veterinary specialisation college since 2008. Concluded a PhD on bovine mastitis in 2011 at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Lisbon and has published 30 articles in peer-reviewed international journals on several subjects related to cattle, including economics, parasitology, public health, epidemiology, infectious diseases, internal medicine, pathology and evidence-based veterinary medicine. During the residency, time was split between practical teaching, clinical work and research. Currently teaches several subjects related to production animals including Farm Animal Clinics, Reproduction and Obstetrics, Herd Health, Microbiology and Immunology, while maintaining a strong field activity in the area of herd health, collaborating with several farmers and veterinarians as well as pharmaceutical companies. Former President of the Portuguese Buiatrics Association and former Vice-President and founding member of the Portuguese Council for Udder Health. Member of the organizing committee of the XXVII World Buiatrics Congress (Lisbon 2012); the Congress on Controversies & Consensus in Bovine Health, Industry and Economics (Berlin 2015); annual congresses of the Portuguese Buiatrics Association; annual conferences of the Portuguese Udder Health Council. The main objective of current research interests is sustainability of dairy cattle production, aiming at increased animal health and welfare, increased longevity, decreasing environmental impact, decreasing emergence of antimicrobial resistance and improving public perception of farming.
