Afonso Mendes

PhD Student


Started in: February 2021

Funding: ERC Grant


Afonso is a 4th-year PhD Student in our research group. Is supervised by Ricardo Henriques and João Mamede. Worked on 3 publications. Contributed to 1 technology. Collaborates with 3 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.
