Founder at ByMyCell (https://bymycell.com.br/) and BlackGenn (https://blackgenn.com/). Biologist by the Universidade Federal do Pará, Brazil (Belém, 2007), PhD in Molecular Biology at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Madrid, 2011). Worked as post-doctoral research at the CNB-CSIC (Madrid, 2012) on Systems and Synthetic Biology, and at the FMRP-USP (Ribeirão Preto, 2015), working on Systems Biology. From 2015 to 2018 worked as Assistant Professor at the Cell and Molecular Biology Department at FMRP-USP. From 2018 to 2002 worked as Associate Professor at the Cell and Molecular Biology Department at FMRP-USP, working on Systems and Synthetic Biology, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.

Agribusiness in Brazil accounts for around 27% of the country's GDP. In agriculture, one of the major bottlenecks has been the strong dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which can reach up to 30% of the sector's production costs. In addition, the use of chemical products also generates significant impacts on the environment, requiring the development of new technologies con…
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are the central control units determining the dynamics of living systems to changing environmental conditions. The recent advances in genomics and systems biology approaches have allowed the investigation of GRNs in at a resolution with no precedents. Yet, GRNs are combinatorial, where multiple signaling pathways acts together to control the large diversity…
We will examine how wild-type PA01 catabolises propionate (in comparison with succinate, a control substrate). This will be done by integrating data obtained from a combination of transcriptomic (RNA-Seq), metabolomic (1N NMR, GC-MS/MS and LC-MS) and proteomic (iTRAQ) analyses. The Welch team has expertise in RNA-Seq, metabolomic and proteomic analyses, whereas the Silva-Rocha team has ex…
The ability to coordinate expression of thousands of genes in response to different stimuli is an essential feature of any live organism. However, current knowledge on this matter is largely inferred from data on extant systems involving just a few regulatory components. In this context, this project propose the adoption of a genetically tractable experimental object (Escherichia coli) al…
The microbiota, a term that designates the set of microorganisms present in a given environment, has been gaining significant attention regarding its relationship with human health. The most used method for the characterization of microorganisms based on the sequencing results, both in environments such as rivers, water treatment plants or hospitals, and in human mucous membranes, is base…

Synthetic biology directed to biomedical applications aims to develop engineering-driven approaches to the programming of cellular functions that could yield transformative diagnostic tools, as well as unmatched therapeutic strategies for treating significant human pathologies. Our ability to generate bacterial strains with unique and increasingly complex functions has rapidly expanded in…
The sharing of genetic information among microbial communities can be represented by a complex network that interconnects the most diverse information, as for example: metabolites, specific genes, enzymes, substrates and also the transcription factors. For instance, the survival and coexistence of a microbial community could be explained or understood through genes expressed by that commu…
Plant biomass degradation has been studied for years due to the incredible amount of byproducts generated during this process - ranging from biofuels to other noteworthy chemicals. The candidate current master's project is dedicated on building modular vectors based on synthetic biology for the transformation of fungi, more specifically T. reesei. The interest in this fungus arose because…
