Welcome to the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics laboratory (Comp2Bio). Comp2Bio strives to complete undergraduate and graduate studies, providing students with concepts and methodology to work in the vast area of Genetics and Biochemistry.
"This is a small and almost inexistent laboratory surviving due to the stubbornness of its head. Where you read 'practically inexistent,' I'm not overreacting: if you hang out at the Federal University of Uberlândia, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and ask someone how to get at the Comp2Bio, I suppose that not a single person will give a useful answer, except if you bump on me."
"I cannot blame them because, in Brazil, people are trained to be employees. They don't have skills to think about that as an opportunity for an inexistent area in Brazil. One shall remember Brazil as a country without significative manufacturing nor technology. For instance, I never received a grant from the government to my research despite always had indicated as conducting a prominent investigation."
Despite these challenges, our research focuses on three complementary branches: Genomic Annotation, Target Discovery for Vaccines, and Protein Interaction Networks.
Automated tool for annotation of pan-genomes.
Target selection based on immunoinformatics and exported prokaryotic proteins.
Standalone software for creating protein interaction networks from genomes.
