yEBSA scientific seminar – Prof. Antonio José da Costa Filho, Universidade de São Paulo
30 June @ 14:00 – 15:00 CEST
Online.
This yEBSA Scientific seminar will feature a talk by Prof. Antonio José da Costa Filho.
Prof. Antonio José da Costa Filho is a full Professor in the Department of Physics at the Ribeirão Preto School of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), where he works at the interface of Physics, Molecular Biophysics, and Health Sciences. He received his B.Sc. in Physics from the São Carlos Institute of Physics (USP) (1994), and completed his M.Sc. (1997) and Ph.D. (2001) at the same institution, including a doctoral research period at Cornell University (1998-2001). His academic training established a scientific trajectory focused on the application of advanced physicochemical tools to understand molecular mechanisms in biological systems. He leads the Molecular Biophysics Laboratory, with research activities centered on protein-membrane interactions, protein conformational dynamics, and the organization of biological membranes.
His group has contributed to elucidating the physicochemical basis of processes such as protein secretion under cellular stress, the formation of biomolecular condensates, and their biotechnological applications, as well as the molecular mechanisms of drug action. He currently serves as Director of the University of São Paulo Innovation Center in Ribeirão Preto (INOVA USP) and as President of the Brazilian Biophysical Society (2016-2021; 2024-present), playing a strategic role in the development of Biophysics in Brazil. He was an Affiliated Member of The World Academy of Sciences (2011-2015) and of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (2011-2015).
The seminar will take place on Tuesday 30th of June 2026. To find out more about how to participate view this page.
