Luana Salmeron Lopes

Biologist graduated from the University of Araraquara-UNIARA (2018) with solid experience in Molecular Biology and Plant Biotechnology. Experience acquired through work at the Biotechnology Laboratory of the Citrus Defense Fund (Fundecitrus) between 2016 and 2017.Between 2017 and 2018, I carried out a Scientific Initiation funded by PIBIC/CNPq, focused on Food Education and teacher training. The project investigated the approaches and perceptions of undergraduate Biological Sciences students on Food Education, in addition to exploring teacher training and performance from a Freirean perspective, focusing on promoting well-being and the transformative role of the educator.In 2020-2021 I was a FAPESP scholarship holder within the scope of Technical Training - Technical Training Level III, at the Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine (FMRP) and the Bi-institutional Platform for Translational Medicine (FIOCRUZ). My responsibilities include the generation and genotyping of transgenic animals (Cre-Lox system), applied in experimental models.I recently specialized in Infectology, motivated by my interest in Molecular Biology, Immunology and related areas, with the aim of complementing my academic training and expanding my skills in this interdisciplinary area.
