Dr. Samuel Oliveira obtained his Ph.D. in Bioengineering and Computational Biology at Tampere University (Finland) and Postdoctoral training in Microfluidics and Automation at Boston University (BU).

 

He is a Research Assistant Professor and director of the Oliveira Lab (www.oliveiralab.me), a recent research group at BU that focuses on reprogramming synthetic microbial communities and engineering microfluidic platforms for in vivo high-throughput screening and point-of-care devices.

 

In addition, he is the Senior Manager of the Microfluidics Facility of the "Design, Automation, Manufacturing, and Processes" (DAMP) lab (www.damplab.org), the Academic Bio-foundry of Boston University. Using the DAMP lab’s infrastructure, the Oliveira lab focuses on engineering microfluidic, microscopy-based automation platforms to increase the throughput and reproducibility of temporal dynamic microbial studies.
