Victor Gawriljuk Ferraro Oliveira
Victor Gawriljuk Ferraro Oliveira obtained his Bachelor and Masters degree in Physics and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of São Paulo in 2021, he then started his PhD at the University of Groningen under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Matthew Groves. Since his Masters Victor’s research had been mainly focused on the structural biology and drug discovery for different infectious diseases. Now as a post-doc at the Rafie Lab he is currently working with the structural and functional characterization of different adenovirus targets.
Ana Laura Manzano Covarrubias
My name is Ana Laura. I am from Mexico, where I did my bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry at the Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLAP). After completing my bachelor studies, I did my master degree in Molecular Medicine at the University of Sheffield in the UK. In 2022 I joined the Department of Molecular Pharmacology as a PhD candidate, focusing my research on understanding the molecular mechanisms of respiratory viruses and air pollution on the lung epithelium.
