Otto Luiz Dutra Cerqueira

Certainly! Here's an improved version with more polished English: I earned a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy from the Federal University of Ouro Preto (1998), a Master's degree in Microbiology from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at USP (2009), a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the Institute of Chemistry at USP (2014), and completed a Postdoctoral fellowship at the Cancer Institute of the State of São Paulo (ICESP-FMUSP), where I conducted research on cancer immunotherapy and gene therapy using viral vectors (2022). I worked as a senior researcher in the Gene Therapy Program at the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN, Philadelphia, PA, USA), contributing to preclinical models of gene therapy for cancer mediated by recombinant viruses. Additionally, I have experience as a lecturer, teaching Biochemistry to undergraduate students in Pharmacy, Nursing, and Nutrition programs (2016). Currently, I am a researcher at the National Biosciences Laboratory (LNBio, CNPEM, Campinas-SP), leading a project focused on creating a biorepository of breast cancer samples. Over the course of my career, I have developed expertise in tumor cell culture in three-dimensional environments, gene therapy, immunotherapy, and cancer virotherapy, along with project management, teamwork, teaching, training, and mentoring students. I am highly motivated, independent, and creative in my work. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
