Miguel Machuqueiro
Lab's Head
Miguel Machuqueiro is an Assistant Professor at BioISI –
BioSystems and Integrative Sciences Institute and the
Departamento de Química e Bioquímica, Faculdade de Ciências,
Universidade de Lisboa (FCUL). He got his degree in Biochemistry
from FCUL and a Ph.D. in Bioorganic Chemistry from the
University of Bern, Switzerland. During his post-doc at
ITQB-UNL, he started his research about the pH and redox
potential effects on the structure and dynamics of biomolecules.
In 2009, he moved back to FCUL as an independent researcher,
founded the Machuqueiro Lab, and started his actual
research lines. There is a special emphasis on studies involving
the influence of pH and redox potential on biomolecules in
confined environments, in particular, in protein’s active sites
and at the water/membrane interface.
