My research focuses on gene expression mechanisms. We are currently particularly interested in intrinsically disordered transcriptional activation domains and the role they play in oncogenic human transcription factors, such as MYC.

Aperol break opposite a historic shop. "Paris em Lisboa" is a historic shop in one of Lisbon’s most elegant shopping streets. It opened in 1888. The yellow façade, wrought-iron balconies with flower boxes, and gold lettering are typical of late-19th-century buildings in Lisbon.
Café terrace in Lisbon’s Chiado: cobblestones, Aperol glasses, and the historic yellow Paris em Lisboa shopfront with iron balconies.

Staircase of the Avenida Palace Hotel in Lissabon. The style (ornate gold-tipped balusters, patterned stair carpet, stained glass ceiling [not seen here]) is typical of early-20th-century European luxury hotels, especially Art Nouveau / Belle Époque interiors.
This is a dramatic top-down view of a multi-story grand staircase, photographed so that the repeating curves of the railings form a nested oval that draws the eye straight down all the way to the bottom.

Gardens and palace of Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra, Portugal. A private early-20th-century fantasy built as a single symbolic landscape.
The garden is designed in two moods: ordered terraces near the palace, and this darker, wetter “underworld” planting lower down. The photo is the second mood—lush, enclosed, and staged so that water and stone appear suddenly through the greenery rather than sitting in the open.This is the ornamental gazebo on the bridge over the lower gate of Quinta da Regaleira. It is a garden folly, not a chapel or part of the palace itself.The palace is a mixture of pinnacles, gargoyles, twisted-rope stonework, an octagonal tower, and dense carving of plants, fantastic animals and maritime motifsThis is the Portal dos Guardiães (Portal of the Guardians), one of the most theatrical garden structures at Quinta da Regaleira. It is a gate that hides a tunnel into the underground circuit leading toward the Initiation Well.

This new CRISPR off-target method, UNCOVERseq, is fascinating! It caught a median of 132 unintended genetic edits (off-targets) per guide vs 23 before—a 60-4,150% jump! Knowing we've been missing so many, how does this redefine CRISPR safety going forward?

“The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there's no place for it in the endeavor of science.” - Carl Sagan
Composite portrait of Carl Sagan smiling broadly, wearing a dark suit, light blue shirt, and gold patterned tie, with his hands in his pockets. He appears to be sitting on a large Earth globe at the bottom of the image, surrounded by floating planets (including Saturn, the Moon, and others) against a colorful starry nebula and space background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
