Nelson José de Oliveira Simões, is full professor of animal physiology at the University of Azores. He studied at the University of the Azores and INRA (France). He had the opportunity to work in different national and international research laboratories. Is interested in the study of the parasite-host interaction, namely the research of effector molecules and their application in biotechnology, such is the development of biopesticides or immunomodulators. He mentored eight PhDs and followed the research of seven postdoctoral fellows.
