Top SchoolAndré Lamúrias is an Assistant Professor and computational biologist with 11 years of experience specializing in biomedical text mining, NLP, machine learning and ontology-driven methods. He holds a PhD in Bioinformatics (distinction) from the University of Lisbon and has translated academic research into applied projects—from deep learning question-answering systems to entity linking for clinical documents. His recent postdoctoral work applied Graph Neural Networks to metagenomics, clustering DNA sequences to reveal uncultured microbial diversity, showcasing a rare bridge between text-centric bioinformatics and sequence-based data science. Based in Lisbon, he combines teaching and supervision with hands-on research, regularly moving between academia and industry problems. Colleagues describe him as someone who turns complex biological questions into tractable computational pipelines while keeping an eye on real-world biomedical impact.
