I am a computational biologist interested in the use of multi-omics to study cellular fate changes during development and disease. I graduated in Biology among the top of my class (top 3% Faculty of Sciences University of Lisbon (FCUL) 2011-2014) and of my MSc degree in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (top 5% FCUL 2014-2016). After completing my thesis, I secured funding from TwinnToInfect (EU Horizon 2020) to spend 2 months at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, studying the transcriptomics of Plasmodium, the causative agent of Malaria. Then, I joined Professor Philip Zegerman Lab at the University of Cambridge for my PhD (2017 – 2022) funded by BBSRC and Cambridge Trust. During my PhD, I showed the importance of the correct timing of genome duplication for the coordination of gene expression with the chromatin landscape, using a multi-omics approach. After successfully submitting my thesis in January 2022, I started my postdoctoral work with Dr. Richard Mair as a Senior Bioinformatician at the Precision Brain Tumour Programme at the CRUK Cambridge Institute to apply my expertise to the study of brain tumours. In June 2023, I joined Professor Luis Graca team where I am applying single-cell multi-omics to the study of autoimmune diseases, such as Crohn’s disease and Antiphospholipid Syndrome. In June 2024, I was awarded an ERA fellowship (HORIZON TMA MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships) for the study of immune dysregulation in Crohn's disease. In a time where discipline boundaries are fading, I have made my career goal to become an interdisciplinary scientist with an integrative knowledge of biological systems, focusing on multi-omics approaches to study diseases, seeking a real impact on diagnostics and treatment.
