João Luiz da Silva Filho

I am currently employed as Research Associate/Co-Investgator (Medical Research Council/UK Research and Innovation) at School of Infection and Immunity, University of Glasgow. I am immunologist, expert in single-cell and spatial biology. Proficient in experimental and bioinformatics tools, interested in immune-based diseases, biomarker discovery, precision medicine and human health. I have led human immunology research projects investigating infectious diseases caused by viruses and parasites (ZIKA, COVID-19, and malaria), and immune-based diseases (kidney acute disease, hypertension, and cancer). In my current position at University of Glasgow, I employ cutting-edge experimental and machine learning tools to identify biomarkers and predictive models. My goal is to develop clinical decision systems for patient stratification and tailored therapeutic plans, in a precise medicine approach, aimed to improve clinical outcomes of such diseases. My passion is to uncover novel insights and potential interventions for global health challenges, advancing human health and wellbeing. I am a goal-oriented scientist with expertise in immunology, big data analysis, single-cell and spatial biology (proteomics and transcriptomics - Imaging Mass Cytometry, CODEX, GeoMX, CosMX, 10X Vision, 10X Xenium), cellular and molecular biology, machine learning and precision medicine, addressing projects using multidisciplinary and integrative strategies.
