Dr. Bengtson holds a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from São Paulo University (USP), awarded in 2002. He completed two postdoctoral fellowships: the first at the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF) from 2003 to 2006, and the second at The Scripps Research Institute from 2007 to 2012. Since 2013, he has been an assistant professor at UNICAMP.
Dr. Bengtson’s lab is dedicated to studying translational ubiquitination and degradation of proteins, as well as the translational regulation of gene expression. The lab also investigates how failures in these mechanisms are implicated in human diseases.
