Bachelor and Teaching Degree in Biology, and Master in Entomology from the Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV), I worked with leaf-cutting ants and their symbiotic relations with actinomycetes, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Terezinha Maria Castro Della Lucia. Doctor of Science from the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture, University of São Paulo (ESALQ/USP, São Paulo, Brazil) and the University of Copenhagen (Copenhagen, Denmark), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Italo Delalibera Jr. and Prof. Dr. Nicolai Vitt Meyling. Currently, I work as a post-doc research associate in the MicroBioPest project (HORIZON-WIDERA-2022-TALENTS-01- ERA Chairs), in the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, in Heraklion, Greece. My work is in the field of pathology and microbial control of insects. I have experience in preserving entomopathogenic fungi, conducting bioassays with fungi/insects/plant, and molecular techniques such as PCR, sequencing and qPCR. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Metarhizium spp. constitute a diverse group of fungi with the ability to cause disease in insects and to associate endophytically with plants. Isolates of this genus are very common in soils of the whole world, although the most abundant species vary between regions. In Brazil, the most prevalent species are Metarhizium robertsii Bischoff, Rehner & Humber and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsc…
Entomopathogenic fungi are one of the most important biological control agents, and their use in cropping areas has been increasing in the last years. Many species of these pathogens not only have the ability to kill insects but can also endophytically associate with roots of several plant species. This phenotypic plasticity is possible because some genes are differently expressed when th…
