Bachelor's degree in Animal Science (2008) and a Master's degree in Veterinary Sciences (2010) from the Federal University of Paraná. I hold a Ph.D. in Sciences (2013, Area of concentration: Animal Science), a Postdoctoral degree (2018), and a Livre-Docente title (2022) from the School of Animal Science and Food Engineering at the University of São Paulo. I worked as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Copenhagen (2014-2015) and as a Collaborating Researcher in the Department of Animal Science at the School of Animal Science and Food Engineering at the University of São Paulo through the Young Researchers Program of FAPESP until 2019. Currently, I am an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering at the University of São Paulo." (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Brazil and the United States are the two main beef cattle producers in the world. Therefore, collaborative research can be of mutual benefit to researchers and institutions in both countries. In this context, our SPRINT proposal aims to develop and consolidate a multidisciplinary research group in nutritional genomics applied to beef cattle production. Together, we develop a working group…
The performance of beef cattle during the backgrounding phase plays a pivotal role in enhancing the overall efficiency, sustainability and productivity of the beef production chain. Typically, backgrounding is the longest phase in the lifespan of animals designated for meat production, thereby becoming a key period for intensification and the enhancement of production efficiency. Several …
Evidences that disturbances in critical phases of pre and postnatal life cause permanent effects on health and productivity in mammalian life, known as Fetal Programming (PF), are not novel in the scientific literature. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the mechanisms of these nutritional stimuli/deficiencies during gestation, especially the quantitative importance of the phenom…
Increasing the profitability of beef cattle systems depends on accurately defining and incorporating longevity into herd genetic evaluations. This study aims to perform comprehensive genetic and genomic analyses using random regression models to estimate genetic parameters, correlations, and genetic architecture, along with prediction accuracy for key indicators of longevity in Nellore ca…
The performance of beef heifers during the rearing phase is crucial for improving the productivity and sustainability of the beef production chain. Weight gain during this phase can be impacted by the qualitative and quantitative aspects of pastures, and the sexual precocity of future breeding stock can be affected. In this regard, this research aims to evaluate how supplementation during…
The use of nutritional strategies aimed at increasing the productivity of beef cattle is essential to promote better zootechnical gains. Fetal programming (FP) encompasses adaptation mechanisms, in which the prenatal nutritional effects and uterine conditions, influence phenotypically in post birth progeny. However, the effects of FP in beef cattle in the termination phase are still parti…

Nutrition during the gestation period in beef cattle impacts on several productive and health phenotypes of the offspring, but the molecular mechanisms of fetal programming are complex and still need to be studied. In this project, an innovative form of analysis is proposed, aiming to integrate different omics to understand the different effects of fetal programming in the offspring. This…
First calf-heifers require greater dietary energy during pregnancy compared with mature cows because of the nutritional demands for pregnancy maintenance, fetal growth and development, lactation, and continued growth of the pregnant heifer. In scenarios where forage availability is limited, providing energy in the form of corn or corn byproducts on low-quality range can aid in enhancing a…
The beef cattle industry is one of the main highlights of Brazilian agribusiness, and has great importance in the world market, since Brazil has one of the largest herds of cattle in the world, with about 200 million head. This herd is composed predominantly of Bos indicus animals, whose Nellore cattle and its crosses makes up about 90%. Because of the importance, economic interest and in…
