I am a bioinformatician and molecular biologist with a strong interest in bridging experimental science and computational analysis. My work centres on genomics and proteomics, with experience and expertise in molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, toxicological profiling, ADMET analysis, and biomarker discovery using NGS data. I’m particularly motivated by the potential of integrating wet-lab research with advanced data-driven approaches to accelerate discoveries in biomedical science.

Nanotechnology, drug delivery systems, biosensors, chromatography, advanced materials characterization

I am a Junior Researcher at CINTESIS (Universidade do Algarve, Portugal). Research Interests | I use Computational Biology as a way of answering biologically relevant questions. My research interests are focused on understanding how gene expression profiles translate into robust genetic modules that explain the phenotypic plasticity observed in healthy and diseased cells, particularly cancer. I am passionate about Open Science and I am always keen on establishing new collaborations. Current Project | I am starting my independent research line studying cancer causality using Structural Causal Models. Previous Research | I have experience with OMICs datasets, which I have used to study breast cancer, genetic regulation in early vertebrate embryo development, in stem cell differentiation, and in mitochondrial evolution. Teaching | I teach Computational Biology at the Universidade do Algarve, and I organize yearly courses on R programming.  Expertise | Cancer genetics, Molecular oncology, R programming (including package development), OMICS data analysis.
