Research Team
Afonso is a 4th-year PhD Student in our research group. Is supervised by Ricardo Henriques and João Mamede. Worked on 2 publications. Collaborates with 2 labs.
Afonso is interested in studying the assembly and functionality of supramolecular complexes between host and pathogen factors. His approach involves the development and application of super-resolution microscopy guided by machine-learning algorithms to describe these structures at the nanometer scale.
