Eliandre de Oliveira

Eliandre de Oliveira has a degree in Chemistry from the University of São Paulo and a Ph.D. in Science from the Paulista School of Medicine. She did a postdoctoral stage at the University of Barcelona where she had the opportunity to collaborate on a project related to the development of synthetic peptide vaccines for Foot and Mouth disease and the Herpes simplex. The experience in peptide and protein chemistry led her to explore the field of proteomics where she has been working for over fifteen years.
During this time, she has managed the Proteomics Unit at the Barcelona Science Park whilst involved on several basic and clinical-related proteomics projects. She has both a strong interest and experience in developing bioanalytical research methodologies and applying them to projects thereby supporting basic and translational research. Such projects require and include protein identification, protein quantification with and without e.g. stable isotopic labelling, analysis of post-translational modifications.
Her current work is mainly focused on clinical proteomics applications based on high-resolution mass spectrometry. She has been working on projects that aim at finding candidates protein biomarkers for diseases' diagnosis (Shockomics) as well as projects related to the identification and characterization of proteins (Spanish Human Proteome Project, SHPP, ProteoRed-ISCIII) and projects dedicated to molecular analysis to better understand the mechanisms of bacterial resistance.
