Filippe co-coordinates an undergraduate unit which is consistently ranked in the top 5 units with over one hundred students at the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and in the top 7% of all units taught at Monash University. He also teaches in postgraduate courses in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Monash Institute for Health and Clinical Education (MIHCE) and Harvard Macy Institute (HMI). Another important part of his role is dedicated to manage a suite of professional development courses for healthcare providers and engage with medical industry partners and professional associations to promote health education.

During Filippe's Master of Science (MSc) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees, he investigated the physiological and metabolic outcomes of fetal programming by diet and exercise (Falcao-Tebas for publications). Since then, he has peer-reviewed several papers for high-impact journals in the fields of physiology, metabolism, diabetes, exercise and nutrition (Publons). Filippe's main research interests are in how environmental exposures early in life play a role in the fetal-placental development and affect the risk of cardiometabolic disease in adulthood.
