Carlos José Correia de Azevedo is a Portuguese biologist specialising in microparasites of aquatic organisms, particularly Apicomplexa, Haplosporidia, Microsporidia, and Myxozoa.[1][2]
Career[edit]
Carlos Azevedo is a retired Full Professor of the Abel Salazar Biomedical Sciences Institute, University of Porto, Portugal, where he taught Cell Biology until his retirement in 2004.[1] After an initial focus on Spermatology (1972-1987), his research has focused on microparasites of aquatic organisms since 1985.[1] He is a member of the Interdisciplinary Center of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR/UP) of the University of Porto, as well as an Honorary member of Brazilian Society of Anatomy.[1] Since 2009, Carlos Azevedo has been a Visiting Professor of the College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.[1]
