Francisco Enguita
Francisco J. Enguita, is assistant professor at the Faculty of Medicine and senior researcher at the iMM, both at the Lisbon University (ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8072-8557).
His current research interests are mainly related with the field of the non-coding RNAs, specifically in those involved in human disease. His lab is applying a multi-disciplinary approach using structural biology, biochemistry, genetics and bioinformatics to unravel the role of non-coding RNAs in human diseases. More specifically, his lab is currently investigating the use of circulating miRNAs as biomarkers of cardiac diseases including infarction and atrial fibrillation, the physiological role of miRNAs in rare diseases such as Fabry’s disease, and the involvement of non-coding RNAs as regulators of infection caused by bacteria and fungi. |
