Bachelor of Biological Sciences (Centro Universitário Fundação Santo André, 2014), Master?s in plant Biodiversity and Environment with a focus on Vascular Plants (Institute of Botany of São Paulo, 2019). She has a background in Botany, with an emphasis on Plant Physiology and Biochemistry in response to drought. Currently, she is a Ph.D. student in the postgraduate program in Biotechnology at Universidade Federal do ABC, developing a project related to Plant Biotechnology applied to the genetic improvement of grasses.

New biotechnological strategies aim to make the most of plant biomass for the production of various bioproducts and second-generation biofuels, thus reducing the need for non-renewable fossil resources and mitigating environmental impacts. The major bottleneck to processing this biomaterial is the presence of lignin in the secondary cell wall (SCW). Expensive and polluting protocols have …
Biomass conversion is currently the most economically viable strategy for the production of liquid biofuels, as is the case with cellulosic ethanol. The complex network of polymers present in the cell wall of plant biomass decreases the fermentation of free sugars by yeasts and is a major bottleneck for biofuel production. In this context, the genetic modification of the plant cell wall r…
The degradation of lignocellulosic material is very difficult due to its complex structure. The complex network of cross-links in cell walls can inhibit the digestion of cellulose, blocking enzymatic access to the biomass. Hence, the enzymatic and thermochemical treatment is essential for the degradation of lignocellulosic macromolecules into small subunits for further processing, making …
