Bachelors degree in Animal Science from the Faculty of Agricultural and Technological Sciences (FCAT/UNESP). Masters (20162019) and PhD (20192023) in Sciences from the Graduate Program in Animal Science at FZEA/USP, with a concentration in Animal Quality and Productivity. I conducted a research internship abroad (BEPE/FAPESP no. 2021/12819-0) as a Research Scholar at Purdue University (USA) from March 2022 to March 2023, which led to an invitation to return as a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Dr. Theresa Casey, in the Department of Animal Science, where I worked from 2023 to 2024. At Purdue, I supervised one Master's student and eight undergraduate students, participating in projects related to nutrition and milk production/performance in swine, perinatal nutrition and fertility in pigs, as well as lipidomic and metabolomic analyses using the MRM-profiling method, in collaboration with Dr. Christina Ramires Ferreira from the Metabolite Profiling Facility. This international experience significantly enhanced my technical and analytical skills in metabolomics and lipidomics and resulted in the publication of several high-impact scientific articles. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Andrology and Swine Embryo Technology (LATES/FZEA-USP), where I am involved in projects focused on the use of metabolomics/lipidomics as a tool to identify biomarkers of semen freezability in swine and the use of antioxidants in boar semen doses. My solid academic background and extensive research experience in the field of animal quality and productivityespecially in swineencompass experimental and laboratory management, as well as advanced skills in data collection, processing, statistical analysis, and interpretation. During my Masters and PhD, I investigated the impact of the omega-6/omega-3 ratio on pig health and immunity, using pigs as a translational model for human health. My doctoral thesis was nominated by the Graduate Program in Animal Science for the 19th CAPES Thesis Award (2024 edition). I serve as an ad hoc reviewer for Livestock Science and PLOS ONE. I have also participated actively in academic administration at FZEA/USP, serving as a student representative on the Campus Council of USP Fernando Costa (20192020), on the Graduate Program Committee (CPG, 20202021), on the Local Committee of the Teaching Improvement Program (CL-PAE, 20202021), and as an alternate member of the Research Committee (CPq, 20202021).

The use of metabolomics and the micro-RNA profile evaluation to study andrology and sperm function in boars is still very scarce. In recent projects completed by our group, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the type and sometimes the number of small molecules and micro-RNAs vary between ejaculates with good freezing capacity and ejaculates with low capacity to withstand the freezi…
Saturated fatty acids are correlated with several health problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer and for this reason, there is an interest in improving the lipid profile of foods, increasing the concentration of unsaturated fatty acids and among them the omega-3 family is the one of greatest interest. This fact is due to Western diets having a disproportionate omega-6…
In female cattle synthesis of prostaglandin F2 a (PGF2 a) endometrial, between days 15 and 19 of the estrous cycle, determines the functional and structural regression of the corpus luteum. During this period, recognized as critical to the establishment of pregnancy, the conceptus (embryo and associated membranes) must competently produce molecules that interact with the endometrium by in…
The embryonic mortality between 15 and 19 days of pregnancy in cattle due to the increase in the release of endometrial PGF2a, resulting in regression of the corpus luteum. The synthesis of PGF2a can be inhibited in animals supplemented with compounds rich in linoleic acid, among these the sunflower seed. In a previous study (Peres et al., 2008), Nellore cows supplemented with sunflower s…
The cost of replacement gilts having limited colostrum intake costs the pork industry over $200 million each year. Our exploratory analysis found infertile sows had lower levels of arachidonic acid (ARA) and a greater abundance of very-long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) than highly fertile sows. Since vaginal swabs were taken at three weeks of age, we surmised that ARA indicated level of colo…
