Emerson Rodrigo da Silva

Adjunct Professor of the Department of Biophysics at UNIFESP, he obtained the title of Doctor in Physics (2011) from the University of São Paulo and the University of Bordeaux (France) with a thesis on the structure and dynamics of DNA intercalated in lamellar lipid phases. During his doctorate, he was a fellow of the Eiffel-Egide Programme de Bourses d'Excellence. He has experience in biophysical methods aimed at the structural characterization of self-organized systems of biomolecules, including spectroscopic techniques, microscopy methods, and low-angle scattering tools (X-rays and neutrons). He was a postdoctoral fellow at UFABC, where he studied self-organized systems based on amphiphilic peptides. Between May 2014 and May 2015, he was a visiting researcher in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Reading, United Kingdom. He was a Visiting Professor at the Institute of Physics of the Federal University of Alagoas. He was a visiting researcher at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (Université Paris-Saclay, Orsay) developing a project on coacervation phenomena between bioactive peptides and nucleic acids. Since 2016, he has been coordinating the Structural Biophysics Laboratory in the Department of Biophysics of the Paulista School of Medicine at UNIFESP. He is a full member of the Brazilian Physical Society (SBF) and the Brazilian Society of Biophysics (SBBf). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
