About

Agostinho Antunes is a Professor at the University of Porto, Portugal. His research focuses on genetic diversity, biodegradation processes, and the exploration of bioactive compounds in marine organisms. Recent articles include studies on the degradation gene cluster in Burkholderia, the MHC I-UAA in Clariid Catfish, and the antimicrobial potential of marine invertebrate peptides. He is particularly interested in the implications of these findings for conservation, aquaculture, and understanding evolutionary diversification.
