João Victor Badaró de Moraes
Graduated in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Viçosa and holds a Master's degree in Cellular and Structural Biology from the same institution. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in the Molecular Biology Graduate Program at the University of Brasília, studying the modulation of ion channels by volatile general anesthetics from a theoretical-computational perspective. My experience includes molecular modeling, conducting and analyzing molecular dynamics simulations, and performing molecular docking experiments. I also have skills in the expression and purification of recombinant proteins expressed in a prokaryotic system and in the molecular biology techniques associated with these processes.
