Associate Professor
Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Portugal
Nuno Filipe Azevedo is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. His main research interests are to explore the potential of nucleic acid mimics (NAMs) for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of infectious agents, with a focus on multispecies biofilms. He was the PI of the European Union H2020-funded project DelNAM, a project that aimed to develop a novel therapeutic approach to solve bacterial resistance to antibiotics through the delivery of antibacterial nucleic acid mimics into bacterial biofilms and cells within the human body. Strategies to deliver the nucleic acids included lipossomes and CPPs.
