The University of Aveiro is a highly regarded institution of research led education, constituted by university departments, research units, polytechnic schools, interface units, and a vocational education network. Its integrated structure permits the articulation and harmonisation of the teaching and research environments, and enables the construction of individual educational paths, from post-secondary technological specialisation programmes to doctoral degrees.

Our team is largely experienced in handling different environmental sample types, from pristine to contaminated waters, irrigation water, wastewater, but also soils, vegetables, and fish (rainbow trout, zebra-fish). We have skills in culture-dependent and independent methodologies for the analysis of complex microbial communities and strains. Moreover, we have the facilities and knowledge for handling large sequence data and analysis, genome assembly and annotation, whole-genome based analysis for taxonomic inference and resistome and mobilome description. We are experienced in characterization of antibiotic resistant bacteria and resistance mechanisms, dissemination potential, virulence traits, metal tolerance and pathogenicity traits; identification and characterization of plant-growth promoters.
