Hire the Best Scientific Researchers
in Portugal

Biologist with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Biotechnology and currently a PhD candidate in Biological Sciences, with research experience in Portugal, Greece and Macao. Experienced in molecular biology, animal behaviour, aquaculture and statistics, with peer‑reviewed publications as first author in journals such as Journal of Fish Biology, Scientia Horticulturae, Phytoparasitica and Acta Ethologica. I completed a scientific writing course and have experience teaching university laboratory classes and supervising students, including supporting thesis writing and correction. I am used to preparing material for publication, from structuring manuscripts and improving language to adapting figures, tables and references to journal guidelines. I also work with data analysis in R and SPSS for experimental and survey data, producing descriptive statistics, basic tests and clear tables and plots. I have presented my work at national and international conferences and was awarded a doctoral research grant from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and an Erasmus traineeship grant.

I am a PhD bioinformatician with over a decade of hands-on experience transforming raw biological data into publication-ready results. My work sits at the intersection of molecular OMICs, computational biology, and applied biodiscovery — and I bring that same rigor to every freelance engagement. My background spans the full NGS pipeline stack: de novo transcriptome assembly, bulk and single-cell RNA-seq, shotgun proteomics, proteogenomics, phylogenetics, and bioactive peptide discovery. I am particularly experienced with non-model and marine organisms — a genuinely rare specialization that most bioinformatics labs lack in-house. A few highlights that set me apart: — Published tool developer. I am the author of SeqLengthPlot v2.0 (Bioinformatics Advances, 2024), a widely-used FASTA sequence visualization tool, and FiltDeTox, a Python tool for filtering and validating toxin candidates in venomics pipelines. I don't just run pipelines — I build them. — 43 peer-reviewed publications · 413 citations. My work has appeared in ACS Omega, Toxins, npj Biofilms & Microbiomes, IJMS, and Frontiers in Microbiology. I know what publication-quality analysis looks like, and I deliver exactly that. — Private HPC infrastructure. I run analyses on a dual-node Xeon workstation (160 threads, 384 GB RAM, 9 TB storage), which means I can handle large datasets — whole-genome assemblies, large-scale proteomics runs, multi-sample RNA-seq cohorts — without cloud compute costs passed on to you. — Research Fellow, Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Naples (2024–2026, concluded January 2026). Most recently I led proteotranscriptomic characterization of deep-sea cnidarian venoms within the CRIMAC DEEPVEN project funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research. What I can do for you: - RNA-seq analysis (bulk, single-cell, de novo assembly, differential expression, pathway enrichment) - Proteomics and proteogenomics (MaxQuant, Perseus, FragPipe, R-based downstream analysis) - NGS pipelines (WGS, WES, variant calling, genome assembly) - Bioactive peptide and AMP discovery (in silico, end-to-end) - Phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis (IQ-TREE, BEAST, molecular clocks) - Custom Python/R/Bash pipeline development - Scientific writing, manuscript editing, and data interpretation I work in English, Spanish, and Portuguese — which is a practical advantage if your team or collaborators operate in Iberia or Latin America. I deliver clean, documented, reproducible analyses. If you share your data and a clear goal, I take it from there.

I’m a PhD researcher in Genetics, Genomics, and Bioinformatics, with a background in Marine Biology and experience in scientific writing, editing, research data analysis, and science communication. I help researchers, students, and science-based organizations turn complex scientific content and data into clear, accurate, and well-structured outputs. • Experienced in scientific manuscripts, reports, grants, protocols, abstracts, thesis sections, blog posts, and outreach materials • Comfortable with research data analysis, results interpretation, R, Linux, and clear presentation of scientific outputs • Knowledge of biology, aquaculture, molecular biology, epigenetics, genomics, and bioinformatics • Detail-oriented, organized, and used to working with technical content for academic, specialist, and non-specialist audiences
