Inês Bártolo

I received a PhD in Pharmacy-Microbiology from the University of Lisbon in 2011 and I am currently working in the Pathogen Biology & Global Health Research Group of CE3C. I am a professor of Virology at the University of Lisbon. My research focuses on the development of new microbicides for prevention and control of HIV infection. For many years, I have been involved in several projects, all focused on the characterization of the origin, evolution and molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 in Portugal and Portuguese Speaking African Countries, and on the impact of new HIV variants in diagnosis, treatment and pathogenesis.
