Graduated in Chemistry with Qualification in Technological Chemistry, Biotechnology and Agroindustry by the Faculty of Philosophy Sciences and Letters of Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP), USP (2012) and PhD in Science, Chemical concentration area also by FFCLRP-USP. Has experience in the area of enzymes, molecular biology and protein structure and function relationship studies, with special attention to the enzymes involved in the saccharification process of lignocellulosic biomass. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at FFCLRP-USP developing her research in the field of enzymes of biotechnological interest. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Soy is currently the main crop in the national market, occupying around 35 million hectares planted (1.4 times the size of the state of São Paulo) and generating annual revenue of approximately R$ 110 billion. The disease that most plagues this crop is Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi), a biotrophic fungus that spreads through spores in the air and that, without correct defensive managem…
The depletion of global fossil fuel reserves together with increasing environmental concerns arising from use of these fuels has stimulated considerable interest in the production of cellulosic ethanol. After decades of research, however, the knowledge required to develop a process for the total enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic residues is still incomplete. One of the princip…
Cellulose is one of the major components of agroindustrial by products and constitutes the most abundant renewable carbon source on earth. Nowadays, the enzymatic saccharification of cellulose raises a great interest, since it may generate undeniable environmental and economic benefits, particularly the viable production of second generation bioethanol. The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulo…
One of the biggest challenges today is the enzymatic saccharification of cellulose present in agro-industrial waste, with good yield and low cost, aiming at the production of chemical derivatives, especially bioethanol, at competitive prices. However, the success of enzymatic bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass has been limited by the need for efficient abiotic pre-treatments of the …
