Ph.D., University of Campinas, Brazil, 2003

`,description:`

Ivan received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Campinas, Brazil, in 2003. He completed postdoctoral fellowships at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology in Dortmund, Germany (2003-2006), and at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland (2006-2008). Ivan joined NEB as a staff scientist in 2009. His lab initially centered on the design and synthesis of chemical probes for protein labeling, but later expanded to interrogate glycans and epigenetic DNA modifications. His ongoing research focuses on nucleic acid modification and analysis, leveraging his chemical and biological expertise for targeted labeling and sequencing of RNA.

Ivan established and now oversees a modern HPLC and mass spectrometry lab dedicated to nucleic acid analysis that serves multiple departments across NEB. Ivan’s multidisciplinary background and collaborative mindset allowed him to build a research program in which driving basic discovery, promoting scientific innovation, and helping others go hand-in-hand. He has co-authored over 90 peer-reviewed publications and over 40 patents and patents applications. In addition to fundamental and applied research projects, his lab plays an essential role supporting applications, development, and QC of new and existing products, assisting in patent filings and with the preparation of product documentation and marketing materials. Outside of the lab, Ivan enjoys running, cooking, and being outside, whether gardening or just spending time with his wife and two young children.
