Universidade de Sorocaba (UNISO). Pró-Reitoria de Pós-Graduação, Pesquisa, Extensão e Inovação (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), Salvador, Bahia, Brazil (2003-2009), a Masters in Genetics and Molecular Biology from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil (2010-2012 ) and PhD in Functional and Molecular Biology at UNICAMP (2012-2016) with a sandwich period in Bioenergy and Biomass at the University of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Denmark (2015-2016). He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Sorocaba (UNISO), Sorocaba, São Paulo, Brazil and also at the Postdoctoral Research Program - PPPD in the Department of Biochemistry and Tissue Biology of the Institute of Biology at UNICAMP, (2017-) with a sandwich period as Associate Post Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Chemistry at York University, York, United Kingdom (2017-2018). Since 2009, he has been an enthusiastic researcher of studies in genetics and biochemistry of the digestive physiology of several species of termites that occur in the Brazilian territory, mainly of the main pest species in the State of São Paulo, Coptotermes gestroi, with a focus on redox enzymes, such as SOD, AKR, and LPMOs. He also has experience in functional and structural characterization of carbohydrates-active enzymes or CAZymes (cellulases, hemicellulases) of microbial origin (fungi and bacteria) and from insects, as well as with the biology of fungi during the degradation of lignocelluloses.

Termites are social insects that live in colonies dividing the labor between castes. Generally, these insects are decomposers and their diet is mainly based on lignocellulosic compounds. The worker caste is responsible for the degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose, and this process can reach about 75-90% of efficiency. Moreover, the lignin is partially degraded or modified during the…
Bioproducts are considered a clean and sustainable energy product, and the transformation of plant cell wall polysaccharides into fermentable sugars are the main challenges of this production chain. The use of carbohydrate-active proteins in this procedure is extremely important and characterization of new genes and enzymes complementary to this approach will be of great interesting for …
Termites are social insects that play a fundamental role in carbon cycling in tropical forests and savannas. They display labor division among their castes and are highly efficient in lignocellulose degradation. Our group has described that oxidative enzymes could be involved in plant biomass digestion in lower termite guts along with glycoside hydrolases. Additionally, unpublished data f…
Termites are social insects that play fundamental roles in carbon cycling in tropical forests. They display labor division among their castes and are highly efficient at lignocellulose degradation. Recently, the literature has suggested that auxiliary redox mechanisms could occur in termites for plant biomass breakdown. Based on this hypothesis, we started in 2012 the PhD project to try t…
