Ricardo Melo Ferreira works at the intersection of molecular biology and medicine, studying how the body's tissues and cells respond in conditions such as kidney injury, cardiovascular disease, and severe infections like COVID-19. His research uses tools such as single-cell and spatial transcriptomics (techniques that measure gene activity in individual cells and their locations) as well as network models to understand disease mechanisms. Work spans both clinical outcomes (for example, after cardiac surgery) and basic biological analysis.
