Claudina Rodrigues-Pousada
Franco-Lusophone biochemist, that created the Genomics and Stress laboratory at the António Xavier Chemical and Biological Technology Institute at Universidade Nova
Claudina Rodrigues-Pousada was a Portuguese researcher in biochemistry. She was a research student at the Gulbenkian Institute of Science until 1973 and at the Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology (IBPC), Paris from 1973 to 1979 and Paris Diderot University. In 1979 she completed her PhD studies and in 1976 was employed by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation as an adjoint researcher at the Gulbenkian Institute of Science; in 1984 she was a senior researcher until 31 December 1999. In 2000 she moved to the Institute of Technology Chemical Biology as an invited full professor, where she launched the Genomics and Stress laboratory. She worked with yeast to examine how the fungi reacts to environmental stressors, such as iron, arsenic, and nitric oxide, and thus how these stressors regulate cellular homeostasis.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Claudina Rodrigues-Pousada”, the useful work is to connect “franco-Lusophone biochemist, that created the Genomics and Stress laboratory at the António Xavier Chemical and Biological Technology Institute at Universidade Nova” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q55965701. VIAF identifies the subject as 98995641. The Library of Congress control number is no95029619. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1973, 1979, 1976 and 1984.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
