BSc. in Physics, MSc. in Statistics, PhD. in Bioinformatics and Dr Hab. in Probability & Statistics by the University of São Paulo (USP), I have been working on the creation of mathematical and computational methods for the solution of problems in Biology and Medicine. In late 2008 I joined the University of São Paulo's Medical School at Ribeirão Preto (FMRP-USP) as Assistant Professor to conduct research and teaching activities on bioinformatics at the Genetics Department. At that moment I founded the LabPIB (acronym that stands for Biological Information Processing Lab, in Portuguese http://labpib.openwetware.org). In late 2010 I was invited to join the newly created Department of Computing and Mathematics (DCM) at University of Sao Paulo's Ribeirao Preto campus, to where I moved the LabPIB. In early 2013 I became Associate Professor in the same department.

An alternative to the problem of fossil fuels depletion is the use of renewable energy. In Brazil, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) is used for years as alternative energy source and, therefore, Brazil has become a key player in alternative energy development. Our main aim is to develop methods and tools to attack some of the bioinformatics issues raised in sugarcane genomics research. I…
Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) interactions engage in critical roles within a broad range of cellular processes, ranging from transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression to host protection in opposition to pathogens. High throughput experiments to recognize RNA-protein interactions produce details about the complexity of interaction networks, but require time and consid…
Structure implies function. In the universe of biomolecules, this is a highly accepted paradigm. However, when the focus is the transcriptome, the structural configuration is a layer of information that is still poorly used. From the recognition of the different functions performed by the RNAs, it is fundamental that their structure is unveiled so that it is possible to understand how the…
The gene expression regulation occurs as an essential phenomenon on cellular processes in response to mutual dynamics established between an organism and its environment. In addition to the regulatory elements already known there is growing interests in the regulatory role played by non-coding RNA molecules (ncRNA) that interacting with certain proteins performs their regulatory functions…

During this post-genomic era we live in, many experimental methodologies were developed and refined, allowing new approaches to be applied both in original data as in existing ones. Along evolution and specialization of such techniques, arises the need of dealing with new types of data which now have huge volume of information. This requires new approaches to: proces, analysis and visuali…
