I have been working as biomedical scientist since 2007. The scope of experience cover aspects related to prevention, risk factors, diagnosis, monitoring, evaluation, including future HIV-1 vaccination. My post-graduation experience was focused on understand haematological, biochemical, immunological and microbial factors that can be future target for diagnosis, development of therapeutics or prophylactics approaches for infectious and non- infectious diseases including STIs, COVID-19 and hematological cancers. Currently I am leading several projects including one aiming to establish the national repository of the toxicity profile of native plants used for medicinal purposes in Mozambique, including those used as source of nutrients.
