Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (Brasil). Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais (CNPEM) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Holds a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Informatics from the University of São Paulo (2007), a Master's degree (2009), and a Ph.D. (2012) in Genetics from the Ribeirão Preto Medical School University of São Paulo (FMRP-USP). Completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the same institution, including a research internship abroad at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard (2014). Works in the field of Bioinformatics and Multi-omics Data Integration, with emphasis on Genomics, Transcriptomics, and Metagenomics. Her current research focuses on the bioprospecting of novel microorganisms and enzymes, exploring the microbial dark matter of Brazilian biodiversity for biotechnological applications.Since 2014, she has been a researcher at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), where she became head of the Integrative Omics division in 2020, and, in 2025, took on the leadership of the Bioprospecting division. She has extensive experience in RD and innovation (RDI), with strong involvement in collaborative projects with companies in the Biotechnology sector. She was the lead advisor of the CNPEM.BRAZIL team, the grand winner of the international synthetic biology competition iGEM Design League (2023) and gold medalist at iGEM (2024). Currently, she serves as a member of the National Technical Commission on Biosafety (CTNBio) in the area of Biotechnology. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Microbes are the oldest, most abundant, and widespread form of life on Earth that have evolved and adapted to survive in diverse environments. Microbial diversity and their great importance are now widely recognized as they are key players in several ecosystem processes. However, many pathways, enzymes and molecular strategies employed by microbial assemblages to adapt and prosper in envi…
The gut microbiota of mammals plays a central role in various biological processes critical for host health. This microbial diversity is also widely recognized as a reservoir of diverse enzymes with great biotechnological potential. However, many metabolic pathways and molecular strategies that have evolved within these microbial communities remain elusive. Here it is proposed to apply bi…
One of the major environmental issues of our time is the accumulation and improper disposal of plastic waste resulting from industrial activities and human consumption. Several studies have already reported the existence of microorganisms associated with plastics degradation, opening new perspectives regarding the biodegradation of these pollutants, especially with the discovery PETases, …
Plastic is ubiquitous in contemporary society, found in clothing, electronics, and even in sunscreens. To the same extent, it is present in marine food chains and in the vast floating garbage patches in the oceans, representing a global threat. Despite being considered a technological milestone that democratized access to diverse products and revolutionized medicine, plastic is also a sig…
In the last decades, the incidence of fungal infections has increased, mainly due to the increased number of immunocompromised patients, and dermatophytosis are one of the most common fungal infections, affecting both immunocompromised as healthy individuals. The dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum is the most frequent clinical isolate in cases humans skin and nail infections. Despite the cl…
The dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum is a filamentous anthropophilic fungus that became the most common agent isolated in cases of human dermatophytoses. Recently, this fungus has been the cause of deep and widespread infections in immunocompromised patients. There are several drugs available to control fungal infections, but these treatments have several limitations such as few targets a…
Dermatophytes are a phylogenetically related group of filamentous fungi able to invade and colonize keratinized tissues in human and animals. These species can be classified as geophilic, zoophilic and anthropophilic, based on their preferable niches, such as soil, animals and humans, respectively. The genome of seven dermatophytes species was recently sequenced and comparative analysis h…
