Research Profile
Highly motivated researcher specializing in the high-throughput biodiscovery of bioactive peptides — including toxin-like, antimicrobial, antitumor, antiparasitic, and antiviral peptides. Expert in proteotranscriptomics, venomics, marine ecotoxicology, and OMICs-based biomarker identification across non-model organisms.
Research Fellow at Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn (Jan 2024–Jan 2026), characterizing deep-sea cnidarian venom via proteotranscriptomics. PhD in Biology (Universidade do Porto, 2017). Since February 2026, independent researcher and bioinformatics consultant through PagBiOMICs.
