@ Oeiras Valley

“No iBET temos projetos de investigação com parceiros internacionais de grande dimensão”

Selected interview highlights:

  • At iBET we have research projects with major international partners
  • The nomination [for US NAE] results from my contribution as a scientist and as a professor in biopharmaceutical development - new therapeutic molecules - to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
  • I feel a great support from the Oeiras City Council regarding Science. The City Council interacts with scientists and also cherishes the institutions.
  • We develop technologies and invest in our own knowledge for a long time. At the moment, we have funding programmes for internal projects to promote new areas of research that we believe will have an impact and added value in the future.
