Pedro Fontes OliveiraDr. Pedro Fontes Oliveira, in 2004, earned his PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences, at the University of Porto, Portugal. In 2005, Pedro F. Oliveira started his post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Porto and began working on a new line of reserch now focused on reproductive biology, specifically in Sertoli cells ionic regulation. In 2009, Dr. Oliveira was selected to apply for the “Ciência 2008 Program” through the Health Science Research Center, University of Beira Interior (CICS-UBI) and was hired as an Assistant Researcher.
