Paulo Oliveira
Collaborator
Paulo Oliveira completed his undergraduate studies in Biology from the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto. His PhD studies were carried out at Uppsala University, Sweden, where he also did a post-doc. Returning to Portugal, Paulo Oliveira joined the Bioengineering and Synthetic Microbiology group, where he currently develops research lines crossing different areas of expertise such as protein secretion, design and validation of tools for synthetic biology applications, and renewable biofuels production.
