Daniel Ribeiro holds a PhD degree on Biomedical Sciences from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon. In that period, he made significant contributions to the field of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Daniel considers research is making major strides as it becomes progressively reliant on high-throughput technologies, as such he became increasingly interested in bioinformatics. Lately, he focused his research interests into bioinformatics, and while integrating his strong wet lab background in the analysis and interpretation of computational data, began exploring the themes of tissue healing, regeneration and cellular senescence in the context of Spinal Cord Injury. At NIMSB he is working on bioinformatic analysis of molecular and biomedical science data.
