I'm a chemical engineer and MSc in Biochemical Sciences interested in the biology of aging, with a focus on partial reprogramming and epigenetic rejuvenation. I build open-source tools for image analysis, data analysis, and lab automation.
- 🔬 Interests: partial reprogramming, senescence, autophagy, quantitative microscopy
- 🧰 Tools: Python · R · ImageJ/FIJI · Arduino · Android · 3D printing
- 🌱 Currently: teaching chemistry and looking for research opportunities in aging/reprogramming
- 📫 Reach me: braulio.uni@outlook.com
- ImageJ-nuclei-counter — FIJI/ImageJ plugins to automate segmentation and counting of nuclei from DAPI-stained confocal z-stack images, with semi-automated and fully automated versions.
- OptoGeneLaser — Android app + Arduino code to control light stimulation frequency (on/off duration, cycles, rest periods) for optogenetics experiments via Bluetooth.
- ImageJ_z_stack_plugins — FIJI/ImageJ plugins to automate z-projection (max intensity) and channel merging/enhancement for confocal microscopy images (CZI format).
- Plots-and-Statistical-tests — Python/Jupyter scripts to generate time-series plots, correlation jointplots, and run statistical tests (normality, variance, group differences) from Excel data.
- SBB_Chamber — 3D-printable 4-well chamber insert to improve Sudan Black B immunostaining on tissue slices, reducing sample loss and antibody usage.
- Aromatic_Cycle_Grouper — Python script to identify aromatic cycles in molecules, group adjacent rings, and export results for molecular docking workflows.
- ORM-Timer — Android dual-timer app for manual scoring of Object Recognition Memory tests in mice, with press-and-hold operation and countdown features.
Open to PhD positions, collaborations, and research opportunities in partial reprogramming, aging, and epigenetic rejuvenation.
