Where Ideas Grow
Frederico Silva
Platform Head

Frederico Silva got his PhD from the University of Porto in 2006, studying the structure and intracellular targeting of proteins, using a multidisciplinary approach covering diverse fields such as Yeast cell biology, biochemistry and protein crystallography. Back in 2005 he was involved in the set up of a Scientific Platform dedicated to the production and purification of recombinant proteins, that later broadened its scope developing work in Molecular Biophysics. He has been actively involved in the development of pan European communities in the fields of protein production and molecular biophysics. Frederico coordinates several postgraduate activities such as an EMBO practical course running every other year focusing in the study of molecular interactions and a yearly practical course on protein expression, purification and characterization of the MCBiology PhD program. He coordinates the Training and Human capacity Development section of the Association of Resources for Biophysical Research in Europe.
