Graduation in biological sciences by the Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski", Sofia, Bulgaria and Master Degree by the same institution (2005); PhD degree in clinical virology (2009) by the National Center of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases-NCPID, Ministry of Health, Sofia, Bulgaria. Postdoctoral training by the Department of Internal Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo (2013). Currently is a researcher in the Butantan Institute and coordinates Young Investigator project (FAPESP, from 2018). Gives lectures in metagenomics in the postgraduation programs in the University of São Paulo. Orientates students by the programs in Clinical Oncology, Stem Cells and Cell Therapy as well as Internal Medicine from the Faculty of Medicine in Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo. His professional experience is concentrated in the area of clinical virology and principally infectious diseases transmitted by blood transfusion including metagenomics, next-generation sequencing, diagnostics and epidemiology of infectious diseases. He has collaborations with the Pasteur Institute, Paris, National Institute of Blood Transfusion in Paris, France, University Campus Bio-Medico in Rome, Italy and University of Bonn in Germany.

In the last decades, the scientific attention has been largely turned to a specific area of the clinical virology comprised by the emerging and reemerging viruses. This is due to the fact that these infectious agents have been recognized as a continuing threat to human health. Many of them can be transmitted by hemotherapy procedures including application of hemoderivatives or hematopoiet…
Viral metagenomics is one of the most powerful tools for characterizing emerging orunsuspected infections in patients with an unconfirmed diagnosis. Using metagenomics,multiple viral agents have been identified so far, some with high pathogenic potential, thusenabling early clinical intervention and adequate treatment of affected patients. Febrileneutropenia is one of the most frequent li…
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies have shown accelerated growth in the recent years, thus allowing for massive generation of genomic data in a simultaneous, impartial and rapid way. One of the main applications of NGS is metagenomics, which contributes to the identification of emerging pathogens and genomic signatures, thus transforming the medical history. Although the world'…
The metagenomic approaches are one of the most sensitive tools to identify emerging viruses. With the emergence of the New Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies, the software diversity used for data analysis has grown significantly. The bioinformatic analysis of the obtained NGS sequencing data represents still a significant challenge for the correct interpretation of the data due to t…
In a metagenomic study that analyzed plasma samples of 32 patients subjected to hematopoietic transplantation, revealed the presence of clinically relevant viruses such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), and human mastadenovirus B. Nonetheless, the performed metagenomic analysis also revealed the presence of commensal viruses in a few cases, especially TTV along with a…
