Aldino Viegas graduated in Biochemistry in Faculdade de Ciências da Univ. de Lisboa and received his Ph.D. in Structural Biochemistry in 2012 by Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Univ. Nova de Lisboa (FCT-NOVA), having been awarded the António Xavier Prize, for the Best National Thesis in the field of NMR (2013). His research is focused on the study of protein-ligand interactions and protein structure by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, molecular biology and molecular docking. In 2012 he attained a position as a Scientific Officer at Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, and, in Sep. 2013, to embrace a new scientific challenge on the study of membrane proteins (MP), he took a research position in Germany (HHU Duesseldorf) to study MP structure and function by NMR. Shortly after, he was awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship to study the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). This granted him strong skills in the field of MP NMR, membrane mimetics (nanodiscs) and pulse sequence development (UTOPIA-NMR). The methods developed and the results obtained advanced both the field of NMR for the study of MPs, and the current knowledge on key aspects of EGFR signaling. Since Nov. 2017, Aldino works as a researcher in FCT-NOVA and his research is focused on the integration of NMR with other structural biology techniques to study protein-ligand interactions in complex systems and the effect of charged metabolites on protein folding and stability.
