Rafael Vieira is a master’s student in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (FCUP), having graduated in Medicinal Biotechnology from the School of Health in 2022.
His project focuses on the design of in-silico aptamers through the development of a machine learning model. In parallel, his work involves developing a unified database for sharing information about the field.
The ultimate goal will be to apply these technologies to the preliminary search for possible aptamers in the context of marine bioremediation.
