Position: Senior Postdoctoral associate

Advisor: Dr. Wali Karzai

PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2018, UFPR-Brazil

I’m interested in studying protein-protein interactions, proteins function, and proteins atomic structures. For my postdoc training I've been using biochemistry and structural approaches to reveal novel insights into ribosome dependent protein quality control pathways.
