Research Interests

Currently, she is a research staff in the Zimmermann Group (Metabolic host-microbiome interactions) from the European Laboratory of Molecular Biology (EMBL) in Heidelberg.

Biography

In 2019-2020, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre of Magnetic Resonance (CERM) from the University of Florence (Italy), working with scientific programming to facilitate the analysis of integrative structural biology and NMR-metabolomics. In between 2020-2021, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Fundación MEDINA (Spain), where her research focuses on the discovery of new potential antibiotics by high throughput screening of microbial species. Currently, she is a Metabolomics Specialist in the Zimmermann Group (Metabolic host-microbiome interactions) from the European Laboratory of Molecular Biology (EMBL) in Heidelberg.

Education

Denise M. Selegato has a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy and Biochemistry from São Paulo State University, UNESP (2008-2013), and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the same University (2014-2019). Her main work was to investigate the chemical profile of plants and microbes for the purposes of drug discovery and the understanding of metabolic variation affected by different genetic and environmental perturbations. This includes the development and application of computational tools (mainly molecular networking and multivariate data analysis) to overcome analytical challenges in LC-MS and NMR-based metab...
