Master in Science from the Department of Zoology at the University of São Paulo, with an international internship at Smith College (Massachusetts). Experience as a laboratory technician with the cultivation of microorganisms and molecular biology. Currently with a PhD in progress at the Department of Zoology at the University of São Paulo, with an international internship at Real Jardín Botánico, CSIC (Madrid). My current research area is the Ecology and Evolution of testate amoebae living under stress conditions. We combined a strategy of exploring Arcellinida communities in the environment using metabarcoding, and laboratory experiments simulating low-oxygen and arsenic-contaminated environments using molecular biology techniques such as real-time quantitative PCR and next-generation sequencing. Experience in university management activities, such as student representation (2019-2020) and financial management (2019-2022). Experience as a member of the organizing committee of courses for the undergraduate public (CVZoo, 2017-2022). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Testate amoebae are amoeboid eukaryotic microorganisms that build an outer shell (also called test). The testate amoeba of interest of this study belong to the group of Arcellinida in the Amoebozoa. These testate amoeba are easy to find in the environment and several species have been documented to be highly resistant to environmental stresses. Indeed, there is a gradient of occurrence of…
The organisms are constantly exposed to a wide range of environmental conditions. The ability to sense and adapt to these changes is essential for organisms to keep their cellular functions (homeostasis). The fitness of an evolutionary unit can be understood in terms of reproduction and viability (survival). The current theory presupposes the existence of a tradeoff between these componen…
For typical growth curves bacterial model has been used. Overall, It has four phases: lag, log, stationary and decline. Protists are an useful system to study population dynamics, where there are still many ecological questions that can be made. In this project, we plan to investigate the competitive exclusion principle in these organisms. To this end, we develop an efficient method to me…
Eutrophic waters have their dissolved oxygen periodically depleted as a result of the excess of algae in the water and its respiratory processes added to the decomposition of these organisms. Consequently, benthic organisms need to resort to fermentative pathways for temporary tolerance to hypoxia. Here, we will investigate the link between the presence of fermentative pathways in a group…
Microbial growth is a complex process involving numerous metabolic reactions that result in cell division. Typical growth curves have 4 phases: lag, log, stationary and decline. Arcella intermedia doesn't seem to follow exactly this same pattern of growth. In vitro, cell growth is dependent on several factors, such as pH, temperature, osmolality, gas concentration, available surface subst…
