João Lozano obtained his PhD in Veterinary Sciences at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine - University of Lisbon, in 2025. Also, graduated in Zootechnical Engineering at the Higher Institute of Agronomy – University of Lisbon, in 2017, and completed a Master in Applied Microbiology at the Faculty of Sciences – University of Lisbon, in 2019. Since 2017, he has been performing research in the fields of Veterinary Parasitology and Applied Microbiology, namely optimizing the diagnosis of avian gastrointestinal parasitism and developing novel approaches for its sustainable control based on parasiticide fungi. He is author and co-author of several scientific and technical publications in the field of Veterinary Parasitology, and performed a research mission at the Faculty of Veterinary – University of Santiago de Compostela, in Spain (2022), and an ERASMUS+ programme for PhD students at the University of Naples Federico II, in Italy (2023).
