Bachelor Degree in Biomedicine at Centro Universitário das Faculdades Metropolitanas Unidas (2013) with qualification in Clinical Analysis. During graduation, had FAPESP Scientific Initiation Scholar (2013) at the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Parasitology at Federal University of São Paulo. Master in Biological Sciences at Federal University of São Paulo under the guidance by Prof. Dr José Franco da Silveira Filho. Has experience in the field of Parasitology, with emphasis on Molecular Biology such as gene cloning techniques, DNA and RNA extraction, PCR and real-time PCR reactions (qPCR), conventional electrophoresis, pulsed field electrophoresis (PFGE), sequencing (Method de Sanger), comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), transfection, microscopy.Currently, I am phD strudent at the René Rachou-Fiocruz Minas Institute working on the project application of the isothermal amplification technique (RT-LAMP) in the molecular diagnosis of respiratory infections.Furthermore, this project involves the association of the LAMP/CRISPR-Cas-12 platform for the diagnosis of these respiratory infections (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
