Raphael Bastos Mareschi Aggio: Bioanalysis Young Investigator

Raphael Aggio is about to complete his PhD studies in the next few months and already has seven published works in the field of metabolomics. Raphael has been my best PhD student so far, he is hard working and dedicated with a very creative mind. Raphael is one of those few hybrid professionals capable of working in two or more fields very comfortably (e.g., biology, chemistry, mathematics and informatics). Owing to his exceptional performance as a young investigator and PhD student, and the success of his brilliantly created, very powerful bioinformatics tools for assisting the analysis and interpretation of metabolomics data - the impact of this in the field of metabolomics evident by the numerous contacts received from different research groups around the world enquiring about the methods - I highly recommend Raphael for the Bioanalysis Young Investigator Award.
