Biography
Samara Silva de Souza is currently a PhD student and researcher at the Chemical Engineering Department of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. Her research interests include Genomics and Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. The Integrated Technologies Laboratory's - InteLab major goal is to integrate multidisciplinary researches, particularly those that unify molecular biology and chemical engineering interests. The InteLab works in the fields of Genome Engineering (Bioinformatics, Metabolic Engineering, and Applied Genomics) and Chemical and Biological Reactors, aiming to develop innovative processes and products for chemical, biotechnological and medical applications. Her thesis concentrated on the study of metabolic network reconstructions, in particular, a bacterium which has been used for nanocellulose biosynthesis. The importance of nanocellulose-based is particularly for tissue engineering applications. Through these researches she acquired different skills in the area of Systems biology and acquainted with different tools and analysis.
