Claudio Soares
ITQB - Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica António Xavier, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal
Cláudio M. Soares studied Biochemistry at Universidade de Lisboa, where he obtained his first degree in 1989. He went to Uppsala University to develop the research that lead to his PhD that was presented at Universidade de Lisboa in 1994. After this, he joined ITQB in 1994, where he heads the Protein Modelling Laboratory since 1999. This Laboratory works on molecular modelling of proteins using computational biophysical methods. Its members have experience in a quite large number of areas, from basic research in methods, to applications with biotechnological and biomedical interest. A lot of work is centred on redox proteins (cytochromes, haem-copper oxidases, laccases, hydrogenases), but the lab is also doing modelling work in other areas, namely in molecular mechanisms in ABC transporters, haemagglutinin mediated membrane fusion and enzymes in non-aqueous solvents. Besides its own research objectives, the Protein Modelling Laboratory has extensive collaborations with many experimental groups. Cláudio M. Soares is a member of the IUPAB council (since 2011) and was Chairman of the Portuguese Biophysical Society (2002-2008). He is currently Interim Dean of ITQB.
