Graduated from the Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences from the State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB), Vitória da Conquista campus. Master and Doctor in Biological Sciences (Genetics) from the State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP) of Botucatu-SP. During the Master's I worked with pre-breeding and genetic improvement of passion fruit and citrus, respectively, working in the fields of Molecular Biology, Phytopathology, Genetic Mapping, Gene Expression and Plant Physiology. During the PhD, I worked with some plant mutant genes called UCPs (mitochondrial uncoupling proteins) in Arabidopsis thaliana, which are associated with mitochondrial energy metabolism and oxidative stress in plants, expanding the fields of research in genetics and bioinformatics, such as plant transformation and transcriptome as well as metabolome analysis.

Soybean breeding programs have as main objectives to select superior genotypes by associating traits of agronomic interest, such as seed and oil quality. It is known that the "green seed problem" has brought serious damage to soybean agricultural areas in the world, particularly due to ongoing climate change. The elimination of this problem becomes increasingly necessary because soy is a …
Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCP) are specialized proteins involved in mitochondrial transport, which are able to dissipate the proton electrochemical gradient generated by the respiration in the form of heat. These proteins are part of the mitochondrial anionic carrier family and they play a key role in the maintenance of mitochondrial function, being dependent on fatty acids and s…
