Linhas de Investigação (Research fields)

Diagnosis of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections.

Objectivos»Goals: Assessing the diagnosis of tuberculosis in humans in collaboration with hospitals of the North region of Portugal and in Mozambique. Evaluating the prevalence of tuberculosis in wild life in collaboration with the School of Veterinary Medicine in Lisbon. Using the mouse as animal model, investigation is conducted in order to understand the molecular mechanisms of infection and to challenge the immune system in order to improve the efficacy of anti-mycobacterial therapy.
Palavras-chave: Micobactérias.

2.	Interactions between the Immune system and the Central Nervous System
	Objectivos»Goals: Work done in collaboration with researchers from the Neurosciences group at ICVS, Braga.

Interaction between the immune response to infection and the differentiation of new T cells by the thymus

Objectivos»Goals: During chronic infection the thymus seems to play a role that differs with the type of microorganism and its virulence. While low virulent Mycobacterium avium invade the thymus and cause no premature thymic atrophy, a more virulent strain causes severe thymic atrophy. For the low virulence M. avium strain the bacteria within the thymus alter T cell differentiation in a sense that newly generated T cells are tolerant to the invading microorganisms. The effect of the infection in thymic function and vice-versa, of thymic function on the course of infection, might have consequences for the outcome of an infectious process in Humans. This is why we are presently addressing the role of thymic function on the T cell reconstitution among AIDS patients.
