Carlos Ramos majored in Biochemistry at the University of Minas Gerais — Brazil in 1991, and received his PhD in Biochemistry in 1996 for work using molecular biology and protein biochemistry at the University of São Paulo (USP) — Brazil. Realizing the importance of folding and stability to the understanding of protein function, he performed postdoctoral work with Prof. Robert Baldwin at Stanford University from 1996 to 1998. He was nominated as a PEW Fellow in 1997, received the Title of Privat-dozent in Biochemistry from the Institute of Chemistry from USP in 2005, in 2006 received a Fogart International Research Collaboration Award from the NIH and Zeferino Vaz award em 2024. He is Full Professor since 2013, was the Chair of the Organic Chemistry Department and Associate Director of the Chemistry Institute from University of Campinas (UNICAMP). Dr. Ramos' contributions to science generated more than 140 publications and are mainly related to the folding/unfolding and misfolding of myoglobin, a model for globular proteins, on the stability of protein domains, on the relationship between structure and function in molecular chaperones from high eukaryotes and on studies focused on protein homeostasis. Presently, he coordinates scientific projects focused on the structure, function and interaction of Hsp90s and disaggregates from human, plants, Aedes and Leishmania. Techniques currently used involves molecular and celular biology, spsctroscopy and thermo and hydrodynamic studies.
