  • 简要介绍:Dr. Célio Dias Santos Júnior is a biotechnologist with expertise in high-throughput culture-independent characterization of environmental microbiomes and production of heterologous proteins. Célio holds a Ph.D. in Genetics and Evolution with emphasis in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from the Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar) in SP/Brazil. His postdoctoral work at the Institute of Science and Technology for Brain Inspired Intelligence focuses on the methods and study of small proteins as key agents to control and select microbial populations at a global level. Under supervision of Dr. Luis Pedro Coelho, he developed a tool to predict and classify antimicrobial peptides from the most diverse set of inputs. Later, he applied this tool to search in thousands of metagenomes and genomes novel peptides that can, in future, become drug candidates and compounds to engineer microbiomes. Célio is committed as a mentor within the NSURP (The National Summer Undergraduate Research Project) and the BDB internship program.
