Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Zootecnia e Engenharia de Alimentos (FZEA) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Veterinary Medicine at the University of São Paulo (1983), with Master's (1991) and PhD (1994) in Public Health at the University of São Paulo. He was the Head of the Department of Food Engineering of School of Animal Science and Food Engineering (FZEA/USP). Full Professor at FZEA/USP since 2009. Currently, he is the Vice-Dean of FZEA-USP for the term between August/2021 and August/2025. He is Co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal Food Science & Technology, also participating as Editorial Board member of several international journals. He conducted a sabbatical period in the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, in Oslo Norway, during 2016-2017. He has experience in Food Science and Technology, Toxicity and Residues of Mycotoxins in Food Products, Food Microbiology, Inspection of Animal-Derived Food Products, Chromatographic Analysis and Dairy Tecnology, acting mainly on the following subjects: aflatoxins, fumonisins, residues, biomarkers, decontamination, lactic acid bacteria, pathogenic bacteria, microbial biofilms, milk and quality.

The Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering FZEA/USP has been experiencing very strong growth in recent years, from a total of 80 students in 1993 when it was founded, to the current 1,526 students (undergraduate and graduate), with all classes of undergraduate courses fully implemented. This growth, although very beneficial for research, as it allows a significant increase in crit…
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that occur naturally in foodstuffs, which can cause a large variety of toxic effects on vertebrates, including humans. The fact that some mycotoxins are carcinogenic (e.g., aflatoxins) and could be detected in breast milk, food and feedstuffs constitutes a serious human and animal health threat, mainly to children and young animals du…

The Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering FZEA / USP has been experiencing large growth in recent years, from a total of 80 students in 1993 when it was founded, to the current 1,711 students (undergraduate and postgraduate), with all undergraduate classes fully implemented in 2019. This growth, while very beneficial for research, as it allows for a significant increase in critic…
Aflatoxins are carcinogenic compounds produced by Aspergillus species, which can contaminate foods before and after processing, leading to human health risks and losses in the animal production. The exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), the metabolite with higher toxicity produced by the fungus, occurs predominantly through the ingestion of contaminated food, mainly corn, peanuts and by-produc…

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that occur naturally in foodstuffs, which can cause a large variety of toxic effects on vertebrates, including humans. The fact that some mycotoxins are carcinogenic and could be transferred to fetus during pregnacy constitutes a serious human and animal health threat, mainly in this period of high physiological vulnerability. The ob…

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that occur naturally in foodstuffs, which can cause a large variety of toxic effects on vertebrates, including humans, especially children. The objective of this project is to assess the exposure of infants (e 1 year and < 2 years old), preschoolers (e2 and < 6 years old), schoolchildren (e 6 years and < 10 years old), and adolescents…
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that occur naturally in foodstuffs, which can cause a large variety of toxic effects on vertebrates, including humans. The risk assessment of chemical substances like mycotoxins should be based on the determination of the degree of human exposure through the diet. The available data on toxico-kinetics of several mycotoxins in animal m…
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by naturally occurring fungi in foods that are capable of causing a wide variety of toxic effects in vertebrates, including humans. The risk assessment of chemical substances such as mycotoxins should be based on the determination of the degree of human exposure through diet. Lactating women constitute an important risk group considering not o…

Enniatins are cyclic hexadepsipeptides produced mainly by Fusarium species, which are predominantly found in cereal grains and their products. The most common enniatins occurring in grain are enniatin B, B1, A and A1. Because of their frequent occurrence in feed and food grains, enniatins are considered as of potential concern for animal and human health. Previous studies have demonstrate…
Aflatoxins (AF) are carcinogenic compounds produced by fungi of the genus Aspergillus, which contaminate food before and after processing, resulting in risks to human health and economic losses in animal production. Exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), metabolite with greater toxicity produced by the fungus and frequently observed in Brazil, occurs predominantly through ingestion of contamina…
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi that grow naturally in foodstuffs, and are capable of generating a wide variety of toxic effects on vertebrate animals, including humans. Aflatoxins and fumonisins are major types of mycotoxins occurring worldwide. Exposure to the toxins occurs predominantly by the ingestion of contaminated food, especially cereals used in…
