André Gonçalves is a postdoctoral researcher and bioinformatics specialist with eight years of applied experience translating complex biological data into actionable insights using data science techniques. With a PhD in Bioinformatics and a background in computer engineering, he focuses on RNA interference, intestinal microbiota, host–pathogen interactions and bacterial resistance mechanisms. He has held research posts across Brazil and the UK, currently at the University of Oxford, and brings hands-on expertise in NGS, Sanger sequencing and molecular biology workflows. His work bridges computational analysis and wet-lab validation, driving projects on Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance and microbiota-mediated immunity in aquaculture species. Fluent in building and maintaining research-grade pipelines, he pairs rigorous academic training with pragmatic software and database experience from earlier roles. Colleagues note his ability to navigate both codebases and lab benches, making him effective at turning noisy biological data into reproducible discoveries.
