BioJosé Belo is an Associate Professor at NOVA Medical School/Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (NMS/UNL) where is the Coordinator of the Animal Facility. He is a Principal Investigator at Centro de Estudos de Doenças Crónicas (CEDOC/NMS).
We focus our studies on the induction and control of myocardium and coronary vasculature’s development, organogenesis and function. The Belo´s lab has been using the most up to date technologies in molecular embryology and regenerative medicine. Those include generation and analysis of KO mouse lines, mouse and human ES/iPS cell differentiation and CRISPR/CAS9 technologies. We aim to understand the aetiology and treatment of Cardio-Vascular Disease, from a Developmental Biology, Genetics and Physiology perspective, with Regenerative Medicine purposes. |
