Diogo Meyer, Associate Professor
I am interested in Evolutionary Genetics. Much of my work has focused on the Population Genetics of HLA genes, which provide a fascinating point of entry into themes related to how selection and demographic history interact in human populations.
Kelly Nunes, PostDoctoral Researcher
Vitor Aguiar, PostDoctoral Researcher
My goal is to understand the architecture of the gene regulation in the HLA loci across worldwide populations. To achieve this, I’ll make use of existing methods and also develop new tools to analyze multiple sources of publicly available omics data.
Jônatas César, PostDoctoral Researcher
Physicist by training, with a Masters degree in Quantum Optics and PhD in Socio-Physics, I have a broad range of interests.
Programming and Math are tools that I like to use to address interesting questions. At my current position my goal is to develop tools to better understand the huge amount of data related to the HLA research.
André Fonseca, PostDoctoral Researcher
I am a bioinformatician and biologist, deeply in love with evolution, genomics, and translational research. Currently, I am using my expertise to address questions related to HLA diversity, and how it shapes transcriptional networks into distinct tissues and diseases.
Carlos Passos, Undergraduate Student
Currently a undergrad student at USP, I am that kind of person that is amazed by almost everything at the same time: from human evolution to genetic architecture of complex traits. For my scientific initiation, I will focus in trying to find signatures of natural selection on human X chromosome in different time scales.
