I'm Computational Biologist
About
I’m a Bachelor in Biotechnology and currently a Computational Biocatalysis Intern at CNPEM. I’m experienced with data analysis in Python and R, particularly managing scientific approaches to biological data. As a biotechnologist and computational biologist, I believe in building great solutions for global problems, especially in the Global South, through molecular biodiversity. I aim to reconcile and navigate biological data. However, the solutions become reality when paradigms are formulated or shifted. This motivates me to combine computational and biological sciences to improve the understanding of biological processes using big data resources. In addition, I'm looking for opportunities to develop projects that bridge the gaps between the sequence-to-structure molecular knowledge.
My interests include, but are not limited to: Genomics,Biomolecular Modeling,Structural Biology,High-Performance Computing, and promoting FAIR and FOSS culture. These topics captivate me, but I believe great results arise from teamwork and strong relationships. That's why I am committed to fostering a collaborative, respectful, and communicative environment with my teammates.
