PI: Andre S. Ribeiro, Professor, Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology, Tampere University

E-mail: andre.sanchesribeiro_AT_tuni.fi; Address: Arvo Ylpön katu 34, 33520, Tampere, Finland.

Short Description: I have a degree in Physics from the University of Lisbon and a Ph.D. in network theory from the Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal. I then worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Calgary, Canada, where I developed large scale stochastic models of gene networks. In 2008, I started the Laboratory of Biosystem Dynamics at Tampere University, Finland, to study in vivo dynamics and regulatory mechanisms of bacterial gene expression, from single genes up to large-scale circuits.
