Denize Cristina Favaro

Graduated in Chemistry from the State University of Maringa (2005-2008), Master's degree from the State University of Campinas (2009-2011) and Ph.D. from the State University of Campinas (2011-2014). She worked as a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) manager at the University of São Paulo (07/2012 - 11/2015), where she started working in protein biochemistry and biophysics characterization. Dr. Favaro worked as an Adjunct professor at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) for one year and a half. She joined the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in 2017 as a Professor, where she had the opportunity to do a sabbatical Post-doc at McGill University (Montreal, Canada), under the supervision of Prof. Anthony Mittermaier, using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry to characterize enzyme kinetics and inhibition. In November 2021, Dr. Favaro started a new position at CUNY - Advanced Science Research Center as an Associate Research Professor. Professor Favaro kept her position at UNICAMP until the end of 2023, where she coordinated the Laboratory of Enzyme Evolution (LEEv). Her research is focused on the use of biophysical and biochemical techniques such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC), Circular Dichroism (CD), UV-visible (UV-Vis), Molecular Dynamics, Docking Simulations, and Protein semi-rational evolution to understand bacterial resistance. She also has experience in organic synthesis and theoretical calculations involving conformational analysis and analysis of the transmission mechanism involved in coupling constants. Prof. Favaro has extensive experience in the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), working with small molecules and biomolecules.https://nmrexperimentsdcf.ws.gc.cuny.edu (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
