Description of research

Andre Sanches Ribeiro graduated in Physics, University of Lisbon, Portugal in 1999. He has a PhD from IST, University Tecnica de Lisboa, Portugal (2004), on information propagation in networks. From 2004 to 2007, he worked as a Postdoc at Calgary University, Canada, where he developed dynamic models of gene networks. Currently, he is a tenured Professor and the PI of the Laboratory of Biosystem Dynamics (LBD), at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology (MET), Tampere University, Finland. Presently, the LBD focuses on regulatory mechanisms of gene expression at the single-gene and at the network level in Escherichia coli. The LBD uses single-cell, single-molecule in vivo microscopy, flow cytometry, and RNAseq, along with state-of-the-art signal processing and stochastic modelling of genetic circuits. In addition, the group develops synthetic genes from models and live single-cell measurements.
