PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), with exchange period at the University of Idaho (Evolutionary genomics Group) - USA; Master in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the State University of Santa Cruz (UESC); Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL) and Degree in Biological Sciences (UNIPLENA). Currently is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Plant Biology at the State University of Campinas (DBV/IB/Unicamp), where develops studies with forage grasses in the area of genetics and genomics, with an emphasis on Molecular Plant Breeding. Has experience in: molecular biology, basic bioinformatics, population genetics, transcriptome (RNA-seq), genotyping by sequencing (RAD-seq and GBS), development of molecular markers (SSR, SNP), polyploidy and apomixis.

Paspalum is an important genus of native forage grass, predominantly polyploid and apomictic species of great genetic variability and genomic complexity. It represents a valuable resource to be explored both in the agricultural sector and as a biological model for scientific research. Especially, species of Plicatula, a taxonomically intricate botanical group, of promising species for use…
In Brazil, beef cattle and milk based predominantly on use of pastures for livestock feed. These pastures cover extensive areas, constituting the largest commercial herd in the world. The species Brachiaria humidicola is forage more widely grown in Brazilian pastures. Occurs in wetter areas, poor drainage or seasonal flooding, which is why it occupies large areas in the Cerrado and the Am…
Apomixis is a highly desirable trait in modern agriculture since it enables the clonal propagation of maternal genotypes through seed, capturing heterosis and gene combinations of elite phenotypes. Apomixis is hailed as the "holy grail" of plant breeding, because if it could be harnessed via genetic engineering or introgression, would be a major economic impact for agricultural crops in t…
