Research Manuscripts
I write and edit well-structured scientific articles, ensuring accuracy, rigour, and clarity for publication. I also assist with data analysis, manuscript submission, and navigating the peer review process.Some examples of my work include:
Gomes Pereira, S., et al. (2021). The 3D architecture and molecular foundations of de novo centriole assembly via bicentrioles. Current Biology. 31 (19): 4340-4353.e7. DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2021.07.063. (BioRxiv preprint).
Julca, I., et al. (2021). Comparative transcriptomic analysis of land plants reveals conserved transcriptional programs underpinning organogenesis and reproduction. Nature Plants. 7: 1143–1159. DOI:10.1038/s41477-021-00958-2 (BioRxiv preprint).
Bento, M., et al. (2017). Durum wheat diversity for heat stress tolerance during inflorescence emergence is correlated to TdHSP101C expression in early developmental stages. PLOS One 12 (12), e0190085. DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0190085.
Literature Reviews
I gather, analyse, and synthesise existing studies, providing comprehensive overviews highlighting key evidence, trends, and knowledge gaps.Some examples of my work include:
Gomes Pereira, S., et al. (2021). Biophysical and quantitative principles of centrosome biogenesis and structure. Annual Reviews of Cell and Developmental Biology. Vol. 37: 43-63. DOI: 10.1146/annurev-cellbio-120219-051400.
Nabais, C., et al. (2018). Noncanonical Biogenesis of Centrioles and Basal Bodies. Cold Spring Harb Symp Quant Biol. 82: 123-135. DOI: 10.1101/sqb.2017.82.034694.
Grant Applications
I craft comprehensive and persuasive proposals to help secure funding.I have experience with applications for various funders, including:
Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT)
European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)
European Commission
Swiss National Foundation (SNF)
(Samples available upon request)
Abstracts / Summaries
I distil complex scientific findings into clear, concise abstracts and summaries, making research accessible and impactful in various settings, including conferences, healthcare, and industry.Some examples of my work include:
Gomes Pereira, S., Deraspe, J., Genoud, C., Hamel, V., Guichard, P. [Piecing Together a Blepharoplast-like Structure in Human Cells to Explore the Enigmatic Naked Cartwheel]. Abstract #117. EMBO Workshop: Centrosomes in development, disease and evolution. 26-29 September 2023, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Gomes Pereira, S. and Schein, S. Summary of Applications of Machine Learning in Prognostication of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury aimed at healthcare professionals. February 2025. AI in Medicine (AIIM).org.
Posters
I design engaging and informative posters that effectively communicate research findings.See examples of my work in the gallery below.


Slide Decks / Presentations
I create well-organized and compelling slide decks that enhance the clarity and impact of presentations.Explore some examples of my work below.
Podcasts
I create engaging science storytelling through audio content, including interviews and discussions that bring (open) science to life.Namely, I co-produce and edit the Preprints in Motion podcast.
Miscellaneous
I develop a range of content tailored to specific audiences, including blog posts, social media content, and white papers.Some examples include:
"Let’s rethink Science Communication" (Linkedin post)
“Preprint policy toolkit for funders” (White paper)
“Why preprints? That is easy to answer! The real question is: why not?” (Blog post)
