Bachelor degree in Biology at State University of Campinas (2007). Master (2009) and Doctoral degrees at State University of Campinas, with a period as an exchange student at the Department of Plant Systems Biology - VIB/Universiteit Gent (2012). From 2012 to 2014, I was a postdoctoral scientist at the Department of Plant Systems Biology - VIB/Universiteit Gent, working on lignin metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana and poplar. Currently, I'm Professor at the Department of Botany, University of São Paulo, with research topics focused on Plant Molecular Biology and Plant Biotechnology applied for Bioenergy and Plant Biomass Recalcitrance.

- Development of model systems in sorghum and a systems biology approach to unravel the molecular mechanisms controlling lignin metabolism in grasses, AP.BIOEN.JP
Abstract
Recently, interest on lignin research has increased significantly since several studies have identified this biopolymer as the main factor responsible for the recalcitrance of cell walls to cellulose-to-glucose conversion for downstream applications, such as the production of biofuels and bio-based materials. Despite recent advances, most of our current knowledge of cell wall formation ...
- Can we control how plants produce their biomass?, AP.R SPRINT
Abstract
Plants ability to grow tall and slender depends on how well they produce secondary cell wall structures. These structures are largely made of sugar-based polymers, and also constitute the bulk of a plant's biomass and are thus also essential for many industrial applications, including fuel, construction and biomaterials. We will investigate how a central carbon-coordinator, the TOR comp...
- The ABC of lignification: towards The identification of ABC transporters potentially involved ín lignin deposition ín Setaria viridis (L.) P.Beauv, BP.IC
Abstract
Secondary cell walls account for the majority of total plant biomass and, as mostly composed of polysaccharides, constitute a promising source of fermentable sugars for the production of biofuels and biomaterials. Understanding lignin metabolism became an important goal as this phenolic polymer is recognized as a major bottleneck that hinders the efficient conversion of plant biomass in...
- Transcriptomic analysis and co-expression network construction in model systems for identification of genes involved in secondary cell wall deposition and lignin metabolism in grasses, BP.PD
Abstract
The production of lignocellulosic biofuels still faces technical difficulties regarding the efficient degradation of plant biomass, which is known as recalcitrance. In order to develop biotechnological strategies to reduce biomass recalcitrance, it is essential to understand the molecular basis of Secondary Cell Wall (SCW) biosynthesis and deposition, since SCW is the main constituent o...
- Development of a model system based on a single elongating internode to study secondary cell wall deposition in sorghum, BP.IC
Abstract
The efficient production of second-generation lignocellulosic biofuels largely depends on the identification of the factors underlying biomass recalcitrance, which necessarily involves the characterisation of the molecular mechanisms controlling secondary cell wall (SCW) content and composition. Despite recent advances, most of our current knowledge of cell wall formation and lignin met...

Abstract
Recently, interest on lignin research has increased significantly since several studies have identified this biopolymer as the main factor responsible for the recalcitrance of cell walls to cellulose-to-glucose conversion for downstream applications, such as the production of biofuels and bio-based materials.
