I’ve known Vasco Alberto Filipe Ribeiro, first as a Biochemistry teacher and
later as his supervisor during his final degree project and his Master’s thesis.
Vasco is a bright student and a committed researcher, eager to learn new
techniques and to solve the experimental problems that he encounters. He is a
quick learner and becomes very independent, soon after learning any new
technique. He approaches every new challenge by thinking carefully about the
experimental problems and suggesting a ways to approach them. During his
Masters’ thesis experimental work, he has been able to overcome major
problems by searching for new approaches to the problems.
During the two time periods he was under my supervision, Vasco Ribeiro
has acquired skills in the fields of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, mainly in
the cloning and over‐expression of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli,
Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) to study protein‐DNA interaction,
and in biochemical and spectroscopic characterization of proteins, using UV‐
visible, EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopies.
As a Biochemistry teacher and his Masters supervisor, I can say that he is
one of the brighter and hardworking students that I ever had. I fully support his
application and I am sure he will be successful in any field of science he decides
to pursue.
