My scientific interests are on the microrganisms, especially fungi, soil and plants from tropical systems. I am currently a post-doc at the Laboratory of Pathology and Microbial Control at ESALQ/USP, bioprospecting and experimenting with beneficial soil fungi and root endophytes from Brazilian biomes. In addition to research, I have been the manager of INCT Bioinsumos Inovadores since 2023. Previously, I was a FAPESP postdoc at the Conservation Biology Laboratory (LaBiC/Unesp) studying soil microorganisms from the Atlantic Forest and their relationship with (the loss of) large herbivorous mammals. I did a PhD in Tropical Biology at James Cook University (Cairns, Australia) studying the regeneration patterns of vegetation and soil in secondary forests. I obtained a Master's degree in Ecology from the National Institute for Amazonian Research (INPA, Manaus) at the Amazon Forest Inventory Network (RAINFOR) studying the dynamics of organic matter and carbon stocks in Amazonian soils. I studied Biological Sciences (BA and BSc) at the University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos - UNISINOS in the Restoration Ecology Laboratory, where I studied the macrofungal communities in native Araucaria and planted forests as well as the regeneration of the native forests after intense degradation.Translated with DeepL.com (free version) (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The loss of ecosystem engineers may lead to ecological changes that can affect even the lowest trophic levels. Soil mycorrhizal fungi interact with more than 80% of all plants, forming mutualistic interactions that are critical for the maintenance of the whole ecosystem. Despite substantial advances in microbial ecology, there is still a large knowledge gap about soil fungal diversity and…
Defaunation in the Anthropocene is the loss of animals that is leading to cascading effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are associated with more than 80% of all terrestrial plants and are critical for the belowground interactions that affect plants biomass and vegetation dynamics. Large herbivores are highly threatened in the Atlantic Forest…
