Miguel is co-founder, CSO, and Head of Adipose Tissue modeling at Bonds Biosystems.
Since 2007, Dr. Batista has worked on projects related to cellular and molecular analyses of adipose tissue remodeling in different experimental models of cancer cachexia and obesity. In clinical research, he has worked on several health promotion projects for the cancer patients and elderly, including the characterization of biomarkers for early diagnosis of cachexia in various types of cancers and a telemonitoring system for the characterization of physiological variables in elderly individuals, especially those presenting a degree of fragility. From 2013-to 2017, he worked at the University of Mogi das Cruzes (UMC) as Dean of Research and was responsible for the development and implementation of policies for innovation, entrepreneurship, and R&D. He was also responsible for mediating the partnership between the University and Industry.
In 2019, Dr. Batista joined the Stephen Farmer Laboratory at Boston University School of Medicine as a research Scientist. He is responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of humanized models of obesity to study the interface entre triple-negative breast cancer and adipocyte pathophysiology. Successfully implemented complex methodologies such as 3-dimensional (3D) culture and iPSC cell reprogramming. This approach aims to generate translatability to human disease. He also coordinates the development of a translational model for the study of obesity using hiPSC-derived organoids.
