Matheus M. P. da Silva

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at LNCC 🇧🇷 within the Gr-ADI consortium, a global initiative funded by the Gates Foundation, Novo Nordisk, and Wellcome. My research focuses on developing computational strategies using deep generative models to accelerate the discovery of antibiotics targeting resistant bacteria.

I hold a Ph.D. in Computational Modeling from LNCC and a B.Sc. in Biological Sciences from UFRJ. I've been fortunate to receive the Doutorado Nota 10 and Pesquisador na Empresa fellowships from FAPERJ, and have worked in industry at Nanobusiness and InsilicAll.

My work lives somewhere between biology and code, where I try to make sense of the vast chemical space that shapes drug design.
