Research interests:
My research interests focus on occupational disease and injury in past populations, predominantly in terms of their identification, but also their impact on the individual and the societies in which they lived.
This research focus stems from my studies of entheseal changes, widely used to study occupation in past societies. I continue to work on recording methods and the interpretation of data for these. I am also the leader of the working group on methodology set up after the Workshop on MSM, Coimbra 2009.

Research interests
I am currently interested on the study of the genetic basis of obesity, particularly the following lines:
- Identify new genetic variants associated with the susceptibility risk to develop an obese phenotype.
- Identify mutations in the MC4R and LEPR genes associated with monogenic obesity.
- Examine the methylation levels of several CpG sites.
Overall, I am interested in identifying a genetic profile to predict the obesity susceptibility risk.

Research interests:
My main interest is focused on the study of past funerary practices throughout an archaeothanatological approach. I have also a special interest in excavation and digital recording (using ArcGIS, digital planning and 3D documentation) of funerary/mortuary contexts.
Ongoing Projects:
Currently I’m finishing my Doctoral Thesis based on an anthropological and archaeological approach of three collective Late Neolithic tombs from southern Portugal. This approach is based on Archaeothanatological principles and GIS tools use.
I participate also in the project “Caçadores-Recolectores e Sociedades Agro-Pastoris: territórios e paisagens culturais no Vale do Sado, na primeira metade do Holocénico – SADO-MESO II”.
