Masters student in the Interunit Graduate Program in Biotechnology at the University of São Paulo (USP), currently conducting research at the Antibody Development Center of the Butantan Institute. The project, funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), aims to establish a platform for the production of recombinant anti-scorpion antibodies (nanobodies) for envenomation therapy.Holds a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ/USP). During undergraduate studies, received scientific initiation scholarships from CNPq and FAPESP, conducting research at the Laboratory of Animal Anatomy and Physiology (ESALQ/USP) and the Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Biology (CENA/USP). Acquired experience in cell culture, immunoenzymatic assays, molecular biology techniques, and protein expression, purification, and quantification. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Accidents with venomous animals are a public health problem in several countries, mainly tropical and subtropical. In Brazil, more than half of accidents occur due to scorpion stings and, in 2018 alone, 157,069 accidents and 85 deaths were recorded, corresponding to 31% of deaths from accidents with venomous animals. Severe and moderate cases of scorpion envenomation should be treated wit…
In this proposal, integrated to the project "Dimensions US-BIOTA-São Paulo: Integrating dimensions of microbial biodiversity across land use change in tropical forests" (FAPESP 2014/50320-4), the trainee will be involved in the project targeting the functional microbial groups related to methane cycling in Amazonian soils. The student will support the work developed by the postdoctoral re…
Nanobodies (Nbs or VHHs) have great therapeutic potential and have been studied as a treatment for numerous diseases. In addition to having greater economic efficiency of production, these camelid-derived single-domain antibody fragments are small, stable, soluble in aqueous solutions, and have high specificity and affinity for the target antigen. In addition, VHHs exhibit low toxicity a…
