01.Profile
I'm a clinician-scientist working at the intersection of chronobiology, metabolic physiology, and systemic health. For over a decade I've studied how circadian disruption during pregnancy (chronodisruption) programs metabolic and cardiovascular disease in the offspring (and how maternal melatonin can reverse it). This work has been published in journals such as the Journal of Physiology, Journal of Pineal Research, and Frontiers in Endocrinology.
Trained as a dentist and now Head of the Department of Dentistry, I connect oral and systemic health through the perio-systemic axis, the biological link between periodontal disease, obesity, and adipose-tissue inflammation.
In parallel, I build and deploy the software that supports this work, from automated assessment tools and reproducible-research platforms to the Linux infrastructure that runs them, bringing engineering rigor to academic and clinical workflows.

Scientific Design & Methodology
Leadership in translational and epidemiological research. Design of clinical trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews (Cochrane certified).
Statistical Analysis & Modeling
End-to-end quantitative analysis, from exploratory data analysis to complex multivariate and nonlinear modeling (logistic regression, cosinor and sinusoidal models for circadian rhythms). Reproducible, fully scripted workflows in R (tidyverse) and Python, with RMarkdown and LaTeX.
Biomedical Sciences & Physiology
Solid experience in chronobiology, metabolic physiology, and fetal programming studies.
Laboratory & Surgical Techniques
Advanced proficiency in cell culture and experimental surgery techniques (in vivo models in humans and rodents).
These methods underpin a sustained record of peer-reviewed work (see Publications).
