Holds a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Campinas (2013) and a PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology - Plant Genetics and Breeding from the University of Campinas (2019), conducted at the National Biosciences Laboratory (LNBio) of the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM). During the PhD, worked on the development of transgenic sweet orange plants with increased resistance to Citrus Canker disease and biochemical and functional characterization of proteins related to plant resistance against phytopathogens. Completed a postdoctoral project at LNBio/CNPEM focusing on new molecules derived from natural products with antibacterial potential and affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher at LNBio/CNPEM, where he is developing a research project aimed at the development of new drugs for unconventional protein targets against Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite responsible for Chagas disease.

The discovery of penicillin in the first half of the 20th century, for the first time, brought the possibility for treating previously intractable infections. Shortly thereafter, there was an era of discovery of several other antimicrobial molecules. However, the increasing appearance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria became a global concern. Therefore, efforts are being made worldwide to …
The citrus industry is an important Brazilian agribusiness sector, contributing economically with exports and employment generation. However, in recent years, the citrus industry has been going through many difficulties; among them the occurrence of diseases that seriously affect the production of citrus fruit, as it is the case of Citrus Canker (CC), a disease caused by the bacterium Xan…
