About Me I am an Invited Assistant Professor at the Departament of Computer Science and Engineering of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) - Universidade de Lisboa and a researcher at INESC-ID Lisboa (IDSS scientific area). I obtained a MSc in Biological Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico in 2013 with a dissertation on Identification of microRNAs and analysis of their expression in Eucalyptus globulus, with Professor Ana Teresa Freitas and Dr. Jorge Paiva, in collaboration between Knowledge Discovery and Bioinformatics Group of INESC-ID and the Institute of Scientific and Tropical Research, both located in Lisbon. I obtained my PhD in Biotechnology from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil (2018), in a collaboration with INESC-ID in Lisbon and the National Laboratory of Scientific Computation in Rio de Janeiro. This work, in the field of Metagenomics applied to oil exploration, was supervised by Professors Lucymara Lima, Ana Teresa Freitas and Ana Tereza Vasconcelos, yielding several tools, still in use today, in this specific domain of metagenomics. In my Post Doc I worked with Professor Pedro Monteiro and Professor Miguel Teixeira in the creation of YEASTRACT+, a portal that combines the existing database information of all yeast species, providing bioinformatics tools for the prediction and visualization of gene and genomic regulation based on orthologous regulatory associations described for other yeast species, based on comparative genomics. During all my academic life, I gave great importance to extracurricular skills, having participated in various student groups such as the Board of European Students of Technology (BEST), the Students Association, where I was administrator and treasurer, and the School's Pedagogical Council, in which I belonged to the executive committee. Currently my main interests are Data Management in Life Sciences, I am coordinating the Portuguese participation in the Pillar 2 of the Genomics Data Infrastructure (GDI) Project.
