Biochemist that became a cell biologist. Our lab is interested in Cell Architecture, in particular how and why the nucleus is connected to the cytoskeleton.
🧠 What if Alzheimer’s risk starts at the synapse?
In our new study led by Mariana Barata, we show that BIN1, a key AD risk gene, regulates inhibitory synapses—loss of BIN1 → hyperexcitability before Aβ.

MAGIC aims to develop effective treatments for people with rare #MuscularDystrophy.
These rare conditions affect the muscles and can impact walking, eating, sleeping and breathing.
By bringing together leading experts we will push research forwards, faster.🧑🔬
#RareDiseaseDay
We are delighted to lead @EU_Commission-funded BIOMICS (coordinated by Nuno and managed by Diana) and partner with @embl (as well as with @CRGenomica and @ETH_en) in advancing biomedical data science and fostering critical thinking. Stay tuned: official launch in January!
My lab at UCSF (https://t.co/4FI7uEPTjv) is looking to recruit multiple postdocs across the spectrum of wet/dry lab interests to contribute to our research in synthetic gene regulation, combinatorial genetics, and tissue biology (including liver biology and immuno-oncology). We esp. welcome individuals who add to our capabilities and perspectives in computation or specific biological domains in tissue biology. Where appropriate there would be exceptional opportunities to work collaboratively with the help of junior specialists in the lab, as well as with other UCSF labs with complementary expertise.

Today, I reflect on the legacy of @IGCiencia over the last 60 years and what it has meant for research and the scientific community in Portugal and beyond. IGC was never just a place—it was a pioneering model. #IGCLegacyLivesOn 1/5
