Research Team
Afonso is a 5th-year PhD Student in our research group. Is supervised by Ricardo Henriques, João Mamede and Maria João Amorim. Worked on 4 publications. Contributed to 1 technology. Collaborates with 4 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.
