Bachelor in Technological Chemistry from the State University of Londrina (2009-2012), Master in Organic Chemistry (2015), and PhD in Sciences from Unicamp (2019) specializing in Organic Chemistry. Part of my doctoral research was conducted at the University of Washington under the supervision of Prof. David Baker, focusing on Protein Design (2017-2018). I completed postdoctoral fellowships at the Center for Research in Engineering and Computational Sciences at the University of Campinas under the supervision of Dr. Munir Skaf and Dr. Marcelo Carazolle (2019-2021) and in the Department of Pharmacology and the Center for Synthetic Biology at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine under the supervision of Dr. Gabriel Rocklin (2021-2024). Since 2024, I have been serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. I have expertise in Mass Spectrometry and Computational Biology applied to the study of protein folding and dynamics of proteins and protein complexes. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

- Protein modeling of enzymes and complexes associated with the degradation of cellulose, BP.PD
- Modeling of protein structure and protein complexes using mass spectrometry data, BP.DR
Abstract
Proteins constitute the structural factory by which cells perform all the metabolic and regulatory processes. Understand these biological events at the molecular level necessarily requires the description of the structure of these biomolecules at the atomic level. Protein Crystallography (DRX) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) are the well stablished methods for the study of the protei…
- Structural caracterization of Stanniocalcin-1 by advanced structural proteomics, BP.MS
Abstract
The Stanniocalcin-1 protein (STC1) is an endocrine glycoprotein hormone of approximately 27 kDa and composed of 247 amino acids. Discovered firstly in glans of bone fishes and late identified in humans by differential expression of mRNA related to cellular immortalization, being also involved in many physiological, pathological and development process, including carcinogenesis, pregnancy,…

- High-throughput discovery of energy landscapes in natural and designed nanobodies, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Evolution has sampled just a tiny fraction of the protein sequence space. De novo protein design aims to explore the uncharted sequence space searching for customized proteins with diverse applications in biology and material sciences. For many years, the field relied in experimentally testing one protein at a time with a very low success rate. Recently, Dr. Rocklin has developed a high-t…
- Protein design applying computational biology with Rosetta, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Natural occurring proteins mediates several biological functions, from the use of solar energy to manufacture complex molecules and sensitive detection of small molecules (olfactory receptors) and light (rhodopsin) to conversion of pH gradients into chemical bonds (ATP synthase). Interestingly, only a small fraction of protein sequence space has been sampled by nature. Evolution proceeds …
