Building deep-tech for healthcare. I bridge computational biology and embedded edge AI to translate academic research into clinical impact. Computer engineering at Poli-USP; research at ICB-USP.
Because in healthcare, latency and reliability can cost lives. By embedding edge AI and strict regulatory frameworks into the hardware itself, we build clinical tools that are secure, autonomous, and resilient where the patient is.
By applying machine learning to comparative genomics, we can decode the evolutionary patterns of public health threats. It’s about turning biological complexity and raw sequences into actionable, reproducible insights.
Translation. Science shouldn’t stop at the paper. Through a hybrid approach spanning rigorous academia and deep-tech entrepreneurship, the mission is to turn laboratory discoveries into tangible healthcare products.
