Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of the University of São Paulo (ICB-USP), where I develop research projects in the field of Structural Biology, focusing on bacterial enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of antimicrobials, using techniques such as X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM). During my postdoctoral, I was a visiting researcher at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, from 2023 to 2024. I have a PhD in Sciences from the Interunits Graduate Program in Biotechnology at the University of São Paulo (2013-2018), which included a research internship at the University of California, Davis (UC-Davis, USA), from 2016 to 2017. I also obtained a teaching degree in Biological Sciences (2019) and a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Management from the University of São Paulo (2012). I have teaching experience at the university level. From 2021 to 2022, I was a lecturer at the School of Arts, Sciences, and Humanities at the University of São Paulo (EACH-USP), teaching courses in the Biotechnology undergraduate program. Between 2019 and 2020, I worked as a lecturer at Centro Universitário das Faculdades Metropolitanas Unidas (FMU), teaching subjects in the fields of Immunology, Biochemistry, and Human Physiology.

In addition to the cellular metabolism, the influence of external agents in the skin, like solar radiation, results in Reactive Oxigen Species (ROS) production, this process intensifies with increasing age, at the same time the intrinsic antioxidant defense mechanisms decrease. Such an unbalance leads to the oxidative stress, to the progressive cellular damage and the skin aging, contribu…
Natural products represent an important source of bioactive products that human uses for the treatment of various diseases. Although the field of biological chemistry has had considerable advances in the knowledge of how nature produces many of these compounds, there is still a lack of understanding of these events. However, this field of research is becoming extremely competitive, due to…
Enzymes are important biological molecules widely studied and used in economic activities. Epoxide hydrolase enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of epoxides to their corresponding diols, and several studies have shown its great potential for biotechnological applications in industrial processes and bioremediation. This project describes the steps already completed in the master's program, as …
Natural products represent an important source of bioactive materials for medical and veterinary use. Although the field of biological chemistry has had considerable advances in knowledge of these compounds, there is still a lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms of their biogenesis. An important class of natural products includes polyketides, which are molecules that have dis…
Epoxide hydrolases (EHs) are enzymes that are present in all living organisms and catalyze the hydrolysis of epoxides to the corresponding vicinal diols. EHs have biotechnological potential in chiral chemistry and as a target for drug design. In the main Ph.D. Project (2015/03329-9), we have identified for the first time, an epoxide hydrolase enzyme from Trichoderma reesei fungus (TrEH) t…
