Molecular biologist, bioinformatician

Hello, there! I’m Thyago. I’m a molecular biologist passionate about cutting-edge research, bioinformatics, and gene editing! I’m a strong advocate for open(science, data, source), and reproducible research. My main goal is to use molecular biology and computational/statistical tools to understand biological phenomena and translate these into human health. At the same time, I also work with translational research to foster advanced therapies. During my graduation I worked mainly with transcriptomics, genomics and molecular biology, both wet and dry benches, applied to infectious diseases (mainly leprosy and tuberculosis). Currently, I’m working on CRISPR-based epigenetic reprogramming for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

My most frequently used programming languages are R (stats, data wrangling, data viz.), Python 3 (snakemake pipelines, automation, machine learning) and Bash/Zsh (automation, linux management). I’m also beginner with C++ and Rust.

In my free time I enjoy reading, meditating, oil painting, hiking, music, pets, and learning new stuff.
