Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovações (Brasil). Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais (CNPEM) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Has Bachelor in Biology (Sao Paulo State University, 1998), master in Molecular Biology (Campinas State University, 2002) and PhD in Plant Molecular Physiology (Potsdam University, 2008). I spent 4 years as Postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology. Since 2011, I lead the Plant Molecular Physiology group at Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials. By applying systems biology tools, we aim to elucidate the processes underlying plant growth and biomass production, focusing on metabolic regulation. In addition, I am responsible for a Metabolomics Facility, which serves researchers in South America, and Associated Professor at UNICAMP and Federal University of Viçosa. Selected Honors included Max Planck Partner Group and FAPESP Young Investigator Award. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Rising demand for food and fuels makes crucial to develop breeding strategies for increasing crop yield/biomass. Plant biomass production is closely linked to growth and depends on a tight regulation of a complex signaling network that integrates external and internal One of the key regulators of growth in all eukaryotes is the Target of Rapamycin kinase pathway (TOR). TOR integrates envi…
Plant growth and development are maintained by a complex network controlled by both environmental cues (such as light and nutrient availability) and molecular signaling pathways. One of the master players in linking photosynthesis-driven nutrient status and energy sensor is the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) kinase. Arabidopsis plants with disruption of TOR levels displayed a decrease in photo…
Plant growth and development are maintained by a complex network controlled by both environment factors (such as light and nutrient availability) and molecular signaling pathways that interact with each other. One of the best examples is the "Target Of Rapamycin" (TOR) kinase, which plays a fundamental role in regulating cell growth and energy metabolism. Integrative analysis of transcrip…
Biomass derived from energy crops is a promising renewable source for the production of biofuels and bio-based materials. Plant biomass production is tightly related to growth and is controlled by a complex regulatory network that integrates external and internal cues. One of the key regulators of growth in all eukaryotes is the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) protein kinase. In the model plant…
