Investigador Principal

Paulo Gameiro desenvolveu desde cedo uma profunda curiosidade sobre metabolismo e  evolução, ao descobrir que as células dependem de pequenas moléculas para sustentar a vida de uma forma notavelmente regulada e conservada. Isso levou-o a estudar bioquímica e, mais tarde, o metabolismo central do carbono, a biologia do RNA e das mitocôndrias. O seu grupo utiliza abordagens bottom-up para integrar componentes metabólicos e as suas interações, com o objetivo de compreender a fisiopatologia mitocondrial desde a sua base.
