Tiago Monteiro's research has significantly contributed to the development of innovative biomaterials and biosensing technologies. By exploring various enzymatic oxygen scavengers, such as bilirubin oxidase, Montiero has created reductase-based biosensors that can accurately detect nitrite in real-time, even in the presence of ascorbate or cyanide. This technology has vast implications for environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis, and point-of-care testing. Additionally, their work on genomic reconstruction of SARS-CoV-2 epidemics in England sheds light on the evolution of the virus during chronic infection treatment. These findings have the potential to inform public health strategies and improve diagnostic tools.
