"MicroMundo"

🖌️ Illustration of a petri dish with soil bacteria colonies. Three of them produce antibacterial compounds, visible as clear halos with no growth around them.

"Under the microscope"

Excited to share my submission for the Microbe Art Competition in celebration of International Microorganism Day! 🦠✨

Every year on September 17th, this day highlights the incredible role of microorganisms.

I believe that visual storytelling is essential to bring science and society closer together, and I seek to contribute to this through clear, simple, and engaging illustrations.
Since 2023, I have been collaborating with #OeirasExperimenta - Programa Ciência mais Cidadã as a scientific illustrator.

🎉 During the past few weeks, I had the honour of re-designing the logo for the @netbio.bsky.social part of the #ISCB - International Society for Computational Biology.

What do Gibbs distributions and Networks have in common?
I made these illustrations for @felipexc.bsky.social's website!

Congratulations to all the organizing members of #NetBioMed2025 on a successful event! It was a great pleasure to illustrate the logo for the satellite meeting. Translating my colleagues' ideas into visuals is always a rewarding experience — thank you for the trust!

Chícharo: Lathyrus sativus. Illustration for #OeirasExperimenta @cienciamaiscidadaprograma

Here I show the two varieties of crabgrass that researcher Carlota Vaz Pato's group is testing.

Pre-mRNA splicing.

The splicing of precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) occurs when spliceosome core components recognize specific intronic sequences... [Can] lead to the generation of different mature mRNA isoforms in a process called alternative splicing...
