Fernando Gomes

Fernando Gomes is a Post-Doc in the Genetics and Evolutionary Biology Department, Biosciences Institute, University of São Paulo, Brazil. He graduated in Biology from the State University of Ponta-Grossa (UEPG), Brazil in 2009. He then moved to University of São Paulo and obtained a master degree in the laboratory of Mário Henrique de Barros at the Department of Microbiology, Biomedical Sciences Institute in 2012. Following his master degree, he joined at the laboratory of Luis Eduardo Soares Netto at the Department of Genetics and Evolutionary Biology, Biosciences Institute, where he obtained his Ph.D in 2016. Dr. Gomes’s doctoral work was on the molecular mechanisms that control the mitochondrial import of antioxidant enzymes from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In 2017, Fernando started a Post-Doc in the laboratory of Luis Eduardo Soares Netto on understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern the mitochondrial import of antioxidant enzymes in human cells.
