Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate in Biology and Biological Engineering
I am focusing on factors governing the dauer exit decision and how it relates to those of dauer entry. I am also interested in exploring how C. elegans retains neurological memory of whether or not it has undergone the dauer process.
One of the projects I'm working on focuses on generating new null mutants in C. elegans. I use CRISPR/Cas9 based simple and efficient knock-in methods such as STOP-IN cassette insertion.
One of the projects I'm working on is investigating soil health and microbiomes from an Azores-based lava tube cave (i.e.astrobiology). To learn more, visit: https://www.montanheiros.com/camoesproject/
