Introduction



This page is in constant state of development. Some of the links are not yet functional. I intend to use this English version of my home page mainly to discuss topics related to my area of research, i.e., protein folding. If you understand portuguese you can also read about topics covered in my classes, including tests, answers, comments, etc., following the Disciplines link, which is probably of interest only to my students.

        I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Cell Biology (Departamento de Biologia Celular / CEL) of the University of Brasilia (Universidade de Brasilia / UnB) since december 1997. I defended my Ph.D. thesis on May, 1997 at the Biophysiscs Program, Brandeis University, under the advise of Prof. Thomas C. Pochapsky. I worked for one year (2001-2002) as a visiting scholar in the group of Prof. Eugene Shakhnovich at Harvard University. You can see my thesis and some of my papers in postscript or html format following the Publications link.
