Felipe is a Bioinformatician with a Computer Science background. He received his Ph.D. degree at Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2019. In his Ph.D. thesis, he studied host-pathogen interaction in important zoonotic fish-pathogenic bacteria. He had experience as a teacher assistant in Programming Languages and Software Engineering and he worked in the National Reference Laboratory of the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture using different types of omics technologies, such as transcriptomics and proteomics. His main interest is to integrate data from different technologies and work with big data science. He has begun as a Bioinformatician in Profs. Grinberg and Willian Seeley’s labs on May 1st of 2021, and his efforts are linked to Single Nuclei/Bulk RNA sequencing data processing, data integration, and statistical analysis.
