João Almeida

João Almeida serves as an Assistant Professor with permanent appointment at the Department of Life Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon. His office (Room 2.12, Departmental Building) and contact details (jmfa@fct.unl.pt) confirm active faculty status within Portugal's leading science institution.

His research program centers on genomic and ecological frontiers:

• Comparative genomics and molecular phylogenetics methodologies
• Biological data integration with visualization frameworks
• Yeast community dynamics in marine-terrestrial transition zones
• Stratified oceanic water column microbiology
• Graphical workflow development for sequence analysis

Publication trends (2005-2025) reveal consistent focus on fungal systems (Pneumocystis, Sporidiobolus) and plant physiology (Quercus suber cork formation), increasingly incorporating computational oncology approaches. His 2023-2025 work demonstrates rapid expansion into immune checkpoint inhibitor research while maintaining core expertise in yeast ecology.
