About Nelson

I am a senior research specialist in The Carvunis Lab from Portugal. I have a BS in biochemistry and a master’s degree in biotechnology, both from University of Algarve. Previously, I worked as a research technician at the Institute for Molecular and Cell Biology (IBMC) and then as lab manager at the Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR) in Portugal. Prior to joining the University of Pittsburgh, I worked with Dr. Filipe Alberto at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Dr. Damien Coudreuse at the Institute of Genetics and Development of Rennes. Outside of the lab, I enjoy spending time gardening, baking and running half-marathons.
