Dilza Trevisan Silva

She holds a degree in Biological Sciences - Bachelor's and Bachelor's degrees from the Federal University of Paraná (2007), a master's degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the Federal University of Parana (2009) and a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the Federal University of Parana (2012). She completed postdoctoral internships at UFPR and at the Institute of Biomedicine of Valencia (Spain) with a focus on proteomics for the characterization of venom toxins, molecular evolution and investigation of the participation of miRNAs in the control of toxin expression. From 2017-2020, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Butantan Institute in the Special Laboratory of Applied Toxicology including a period of seven months at Freiburg University (Germany) using different proteomic methodologies based on mass spectrometry to evaluate the systemic effects of hemorrhagic metalloproteases from snake venoms (SVMPs) in an animal model. She worked as a Senior Technologist and Laboratory Specialist in charge of the Mass Spectrometry platform at the CENTD Special Laboratory at the Butantan Foundation, implementing different proteomics methodologies applied to multiple institutional projects. Recently, she served as Senior Scientist and Assistant Director at the Mass Spectrometry Core Facility at the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia (United States). She has over ten years of experience in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and two years of experience in metabolomics. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
