PhD in Biological Sciences (Microbiology) from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at the University of São Paulo (ICB-USP). Holds an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar CCA), with part of her studies completed at James Cook University, in Townsville, Australia, through the Science Without Borders Program CAPES (20132014).Works in the field of Microbiology, with emphasis on the biochemical and functional characterization of mycobacterial proteins, particularly focusing on the investigation of molecular targets for the discovery of new drugs using the Fragment-Based Drug Discovery (FBDD) approach. Currently, she is a member of the Laboratory of Applied Structural Biology (LBEA) at ICB-USP, where she is conducting postdoctoral research focused on molecular microbiology and protein biochemistry. Has experience in molecular biology techniques, protein biochemistry, biophysical assays, protein structural biology, and experimental microbiology. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The main function of the bacterial cell wall is to maintain the shape and integrity of the cell. However, far from being a static structure, the cell wall undergoes constant remodeling and modifications throughout the cell cycle. The peptidoglycan layer is one of the main components of the bacterial cell wall. Therefore, the balance between peptidoglycan synthesis and degradation during c…
Although the infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is considered one of the oldest and largely studied disease of humankind, it follows as a leader in both incidence and mortality rates, among bacterial infections. According to the World Health Organization, about 9.6 million of new cases of tuberculosis and 1.5 million of deaths were notified only in 2014. In addition, it is est…
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the responsible agent of one of the infect-contagious disease with highest mortality indices in the world. With about 9 million of new cases by year, the indices indicate that the occurrence of this disease was never so high, despite prophylaxis strategies such as BCG vaccine and chemotherapy treatment. In Brazil, tuberculosis also deserve attention, du…
