Célio Dias Santos Júnior

Célio obtained his PhD degree on the use of bioinformatics to analyze terrestrial organic matter degradation by Amazon river microbes through metagenomics and population genomes. His main interests range from the interface of bioinformatics applied to metagenomics, machine learning and protein structure. He specializes in the analysis of metagenomes and metatranscriptomes, wet lab routines and also bioprospection of biotechnological important proteins in environmental microbiota samples.
