Prof. Anderson Sá Pinheiro
Institute of Chemistry - UFRJ
Research interest focuses on the application of biophysical techniques, mostly NMR, to describe protein structure, dynamics, and its interactions with RNA. Our goal is to achieve a molecular understanding of protein-RNA recognition mechanisms in the context of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression.
​Prof. Cristiane Dinis Ano Bom
Institute of Chemistry- UFRJ
Research interests include studies by NMR of structural and dynamics of biological targets, such as FKBP12 and RpiB from M. tuberculosis and trypanosomatids the non-structural proteins NS2B and NS2-NS3 from ZIKV.
