Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPedro Nachtigall is a postdoctoral researcher with 8+ years of experience applying comparative genomics and transcriptomics to questions of microRNA function and evolution, particularly in cardiac development across vertebrates. He combines wet-lab expertise in zebrafish embryology, qPCR, in situ hybridization and transgenesis with strong computational skills in R and Python to build predictive models of regulatory genomic regions. His PhD work mapped miRNA expression in hearts from 21 species and functionally characterized miR-129 in zebrafish, insights that bridge evolutionary biology and developmental mechanisms. Having held positions at IME-USP, Instituto Butantan, Vanderbilt, Florida State University and now University of Oslo, he moves fluidly between molecular experiments and bioinformatic innovation. Notably, he develops in-house analysis pipelines that revealed conserved and clade-specific miRNAs integrated into core cardiac regulatory networks.
