My Background

I grew up in Portugal and earned my B.S. in Biochemistry and Biophysics from Iowa State University, followed by a Ph.D. in Biology from MIT and a postdoctoral fellowship in Biochemistry and Biophysics at UCSF.

Since then, I have supported individuals and companies on a range of projects, including:
  • Evaluating new therapeutic technologies
  • Designing immunogens
  • Developing customized Python and HTML tools for statistical and data analyses
