His research is mainly focused in the development of new sample treatments for proteomics, analytical chemistry and bio-analytical chemistry. Briefly, he is involved in the development of new approaches for in-gel and in-solution protein identification throughout ultra-fast protein digestion and MALDI Imaging.
Recently he was involved in a collaboration for the development of new strategies for tissue sample preparation prior Mass Spectrometry Imaging of endometriosis tissues, prostate cancer and tissues. His PhD was supervised by Dr. José Luis Capelo (University of Vigo), Prof. José Moura (Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Portugal), Dr. Garry Corthals (Turky Centre for Biotecnology, University of Turku, Finland). Dr. Santos was a postdoctoral.
Dr. Santos was a postdoctoral fellow at Universidade de Tras-os-Montes e Alto Douro (Portugal) and in the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, FCT-REQUIMTE (Portugal).
Actually Dr. Santos is an IF Researcher working in Nano-PhosphoProteomics at the BIOSCOPE group LAQV-REQUIMTE, being responsible for the Laboratory for Biological Mass Spectrometry & Functional Associations of Post-Translational Modifications at the Labs 011- 013.
