Serves as a Full Professor at the Botany Department of the University of São Paulo (USP), holds a BA in biological sciences (Rio de Janeiro State University- UERJ, 1983) and a Ph.D. in Genetic Microbiology (University of Paris-Sud 11 - France, 1989). Dr. Van Sluys heads USP's Genomes and Transposable Elements (GaTE) Laboratory. Research interests focus on molecular processes that result in biodiversity and plant-microbe interaction. By means of comparative genomics and the study of transposable elements, insight was gained into the diversification of Xanthomonadaceae and in plants. She was nominated to the Sao Paulo State Academy of Sciences (ACIESP) in 2015, to the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC) in 2016, and to TWAS (2023). Over 50 professionals joined her group at different stages of their careers and now work in private or public sectors in Brazil or abroad. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

- Genes, genomes & transposable elements contribution to plant-microbe interaction: a sugarcane study case, AP.BIOEN.TEM
Abstract
Plant-Microbe interaction is a fundamental process in the biosphere that impacts natural ecosystems as well as agroecosystems. The understanding of the biological components and processes that control this interaction is expected to improve crop productivity and monitor environmental quality. Our approach to tackle this complex system is to use genome-wide molecular and bioinformatic tool…
- Crops for the Future Collaborative Partnership, AP.R
Abstract
To represent FAPESP at FFAR initiative under Crop of the Future Collaborative. This initiative will promote interdisciplinarity between Agronomy, Omics, Plant Physiology, Genetics, Breeding and Data Science towards improving plants to a changing environment. (AU)
- Extending synthetic biology collaborations between WISB and BSSB, AP.R SPRINT
Abstract
The overall aim of this proposal is to build a productive and mutually beneficial partnership with BSSB at USP. This is one arm of our growing international Synthetic Biology Network, which also includes CoSBI (Boston), UPF (Barcelona) and CNB (Madrid). A strong partnership between WISB and BSSB will enable us to establish joint research projects that are funded through BBSRC-FAPESP. Esta…

Abstract
Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) is one of the most economically important cultivars in the world applications in the food and bioenergy industries, and can be an alternative to alternative to fossil fuels. Due to its physiological characteristics, the climate in Brazil is propitious for the propagation of its wide cultivation, making the country the main producer in the the world. However, pro…

- Characterization of new viral particule found in strain of phytopathoenic bacteria, Xanthomonas albilineans, BP.MS
Abstract
Bacteriophages are important biological agents, infecting the majority of bacterial strains. Bacteriophages studies are essential for the knowledge of ecological interactions, horizontal gene transfer and genome evolution. Besides that, Its importance as a biological control has grown. The project goal is to study a new viral particule found by electron microscopy in a Xanthomonas albilin…
- Influence of biotic stress on the sugarcane microbiome, BP.IC
Abstract
Microbial communities inhabit the internal and external tissues of plants, varyingtheir composition depending on the region they occupy. Furthermore, microorganisms canassume a positive impact on nutrition, resistance to stress, or become pathogenic. Although little understood,plants have control mechanisms regarding the diversity and quantity of the microbial community that inhabits thei…

- Pan grass syntenic gene set based on sugarcane inclusion and the thiamine biosynthesis pathway, BE.EP.DD
Abstract
The development of a pan-grass synthetic gene set can yield a high-resolution view of the patterns and processes of molecular evolution. However, leveraging information across multiple genomes remains a significant challenge in nearly all eukaryotic systems, especially sugarcane, a highly polyploid grass. These challenges range from studying the evolution of chromosome structure to findin…
- The influence of mobile genetic elements on Xanthomonas oryzae lineages, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Mobile genetic elements have largely influenced the bacterial genomic evolution. They play an important role in increasing genetic variability and therefore, promoting genetically diverse populations in a constantly changing environment. My Doctorate research project investigates how mobile elements potentially influenced the evolutionary history of phytopathogenic Xanthomonas oryzae line…
- Construction of plant models for functional study of sugarcane Thi1 gene variants, BE.EP.DD
Abstract
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is a C4 photosynthesis monocot and is an important tropical crop grown for sucrose production. The thi1 gene was the first reported to be involved in plant thiamine biosynthesis. THI1 protein is known to be involved in the synthesis of the thiazole ring, a thiamine (vitamin B1) component, which is an essential co-factor in several carbohydrate and amino acid met…
