Birthplace: Brazil

Graduated in Veterinary Medicine from the Federal University of Bahia (2011), with a Master's in Animal Science in the Tropics from the Federal University of Bahia (2014) and a PhD in Animal Science in the Tropics from the same institution (2017), with an emphasis on Animal Reproduction. In 2015, a sandwich PhD program was completed at the University of Florida (USA), specializing in the Pathophysiology and Biotechnologies of Animal Reproduction in cattle. Currently, a postdoctoral fellowship is being undertaken at the Department of Veterinary Medicine of the Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering, University of São Paulo (FZEA/USP). Extensive experience in Animal Reproduction, Physiology, and Reproductive Biotechnologies has been developed, with a primary focus on pharmacological control of animal reproduction, estrus and ovulation synchronization, fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI), Doppler ultrasonography, and molecular biology related to embryonic development.

Abstract
In vitro-produced bovine embryos (IVP) have morphological, molecular, and, mainly, metabolic alterations, such as lipid accumulation, which leads to lower cryotolerance. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is among the most used sources of macromolecules in culture media during IVP. Besides, it is considered one of the main factors responsible for the increase in lipid accumulation of these structur…

Abstract
Early diagnosis of gestation is an important tool to increase the reproductive efficiency and profitability of dairy herds. Interferon-tau is a glycoprotein secreted by the embryo and essential for the maternal recognition of the embryo. Secretion of IFN-tau during embryo implantation stimulates the expression of genes (ISGs) in peripheral blood immune cells in blood females and can be us…
