I did my PhD at the Gulbenkian Science Institute (IGC), near Lisbon, Portugal, where I worked on a number of projects in which I used quantitative methods to study centromere function and epigenetic inheritance. This culminated in a study in which I determined the absolute number of the centromere-defining histone protein CENP-A at this chromosomal structure, and challenged existing models of centromeric architecture by showing that a surprisingly low density of CENP-A molecules is sufficient to epigenetically specify the centromere identity. You can read more about this here: elifesciences.org/content/3/e02137. Currently, I am working on a project to unravel the molecular mechanism of adhesion-independent cell migration, by using a combination of microfabrication, in vivo imaging, and mathematical modelling.
