Computational Biology
Develops precise computational models to understand biomacromolecular systems, accelerating the production of experimental findings
Non-Membrane Organelles
Investigates the formation, function and regulation of biomolecular condensates formed by phase separation, with direct impacts in the understanding of genomic regulation and metabolism
Molecular and Cellular Sociology
Investigates molecular and cellular interactions in living tissue, with a focus on metabolic adaptation, tumor immunosuppression and development of personalized therapies
Neglected Tropical Diseases
This group studies diseases caused by microorganisms which are highly prevalent in tropical countries and affect a large portion of the global population that lives in socially and economically vulnerable conditions
Bacteria
This group explores the development of antibiotics to combat multi-drug-resistant bacteria, a critical concern worldwide for public health
Virology
This group works with arboviruses, viral diseases transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes. The main focus is on arboviruses that have not yet been widely studied but are potentially emerging and present in Latin America
