Research & AI

Pesquisa e IA

The science years,
and what comes next.

I've been in research since my earliest academic years — beginning with the study of propolis during my Pharmacy undergraduate degree, where I co-authored my first peer-reviewed paper.

That path led to peer-reviewed publications in renal genetics and the complement system — in JASN, Molecular Immunology and others — through a Master's at UFMG and a PhD sandwich year at Newcastle University.

Now completing a postgraduate specialization in Artificial Intelligence at UFV and bringing that training to work on health, genomics, data science, and creative technology.

About me

Sobre
A short biography

I'm Geise. Trained first as a pharmacist, then as a molecular scientist — Master's in Molecular Medicine at UFMG, PhD sandwich program at Newcastle University — and now specializing in applied AI at UFV. What stays constant is attention: slow, methodical, documentary attention to the thing in front of me.

I work from Brazil, in three languages: Portuguese natively, English as my working language, and Spanish professionally.

Also
A versatile writer with ten books published
Fiction, poetry, and educational titles across the past decade.
And
A singer and musician in the duo Covered Up With Clouds
Slow songs, layered guitars, two voices. Released on YouTube and streaming platforms.
