Formerly at the Federal University of Santa Maria and National Institute
for Space Research, Pabulo is currently working at the
Federal University of Pampa,
Southern Brazil. His recent research is focused on molecular biology and
genomics of microorganisms in extreme environments (especially
Antarctica).
Pabulo has done extensive research on life in extreme environments,
metagenomics, biotechnology, astrobiology, and on the origins and nature
of life. He is best known for his leadership and eminent work as Guest
Editor of several successful special issues in different fields of life
science.
In recent years, he has received several invitations to publish papers,
special issues and
book chapters related to extremophiles,
biotechnology, and astrobiology. Short biographies of him were published
as chapters in several books including “Planetary Scientists” by LLC,
2010 (ISBN: 978–1242756979), “Space Advocates” by LLC Books, 2010 (ISBN:
978–1155279060), “Astrobiology” by Hephaestus Books, 2011 (ISBN:
