Graduate at Ciencias Biológicas from Universidade de São Paulo (1976), master (1980) and PhD (1983) at Curso de Pós Graduação da FMRP- USP (Physiology ). Post-Doc in the lab. of Prof. Héctor F. Terenzi (USP/ Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, 1984-1985), in the lab. of Prof. Anthony J.F. Griffiths (UBC/Vancouver, Canada, 1995-1996), in the lab. of Prof. I.B. Heath (York University/ Toronto, Canada, 1998). Since 1985 I am Professor of Industrial Enzymes and of Topics in Biotechnology in FCFRP-USP. I have experience in Biochemistry, focusing on Biochemetry of Microorganisms, acting on the following subjects: fungal enzymes and secondary metabolites produced by fungi. I have colaborated as reviewer with Microbiol. Research, J. Basic Microbiol., Process Biochemistry, Brazilian Arch. Biol. Technol., Brazilian J. of Food Technology, Bioscence Journal and with Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) since 1992 and was of National Science Foundation on 2008 and 2009.

The world agricultural production has phytosanitary troubles caused by phytopathogens including fungi. Chemistry products are used to control diseases provoked by these microorganisms but endanger the environment. The general propose of the project is to test different diterpenes from plants to determine if they inhibit or prevent the growth of fungi which infect and damage many important…
Fungi have been less explored than plants in bioprospection programs, especially the endophytes, which remain a promising and practically unexplored source of interesting bioactive natural products. One of the major advantages of working with microorganisms in a natural products discovery program is the possibility to screen a vast number of cultures on a small scale, before identifying t…
