Hearted Biologist and enthusiastic with Chemical Biology: BSc Biology, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte 2008. Masters (2010), PhD (2012) and post-doc (2014) in Molecular Biology, Federal University of São Paulo engaged with a wide range of disciplines ranging from mathematics coupled with spectroscopy to protein cloning and expression attempting to understand the relationship between structure and function of relevant biological macromolecules, specially complex carbohydrates. I'm currently a Honorary Research Fellow, Institute of Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool and since april 2014, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology Division at the Federal University of São Paulo. Besides teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, recently I've been engaged in developing new ways of looking at fine cellular structures using super-resolution and CARS (Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering) microscopy by selective labeling and detection of particular cellular components.

Studying polysaccharide-protein interactions under physiological conditions by conventional techniques is challenging. Ideally, macromolecules could be followed by both in vitro spectroscopy experiments and in tissues using microscopy, to enable a proper comparison of results, 19F labelling of glycosaminoglycan's provides background-free signals with potential in both 19F-Nuclear Magnetic…
Heparan sulfate (HS), a sulfated linear carbohydrate which decorates the cell surface and extracelullar matrix, are ubiquitously distributed throughout the animal kingdom and represent a key regulator of biological processes as well as a vast, largely untapped, reservoir of potential therapeutic agents. Dynamic temporal and spatial variations in HS structure underpin the concept of the 'h…
Brazil rose to prominence as one of the major producer of shrimps, concentrating its production on the Pacific white shrimp, L. vannamei. Marine organisms possess a variety of naturally occurring polysaccharides with variations in sugar composition and sulfation patterns determined by the species as well as their habitat. Such compounds possess pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic and …
