Graduated in the Bachelor's Degree in Biotechnology from the Federal University of São Carlos - Campus São Carlos. She has experience in molecular biology, genetics and recombinant expression of proteins with biotechnological interests. She composed, as Secretary, the management team of the Academic Center for Biotechnology at UFSCar in the years 2019-2020, carried out Scientific Initiation at the Laboratory of Biochemistry and Applied Genetics (LBGA) at the Department of Genetics and Evolution of the Federal University of São Carlos, focusing on in the recombinant expression of hydrolytic enzymes from neotropical termites aiming at the production of second generation ethanol from the deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass. In addition, she did an internship in the area of Bioinformatics, developing activities related to gene prospection within transcriptomes of three Brazilian termite species (Heterotermes tenuis, Cornitermes cumulans and Velocitermes heteropterus) and in silico analysis of the proteins encoded by selected genes in these species. Currently, she is a PhD student at the Graduate Program in Molecular and Morphofunctional Biology at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), developing her project with a focus on enzymes applied to the deconstruction of plastics.

Petroleum-based plastics (PBP) have several applications, emphasizing the packaging market. The material of its composition is chemically inert and presents a high resistance to microbial degradation due to its structure. However, although these plastics provide infinite facilities to everyday life, they are now considered villains regarding their natural degradation. Thus, efforts have b…
Laccases are oxidoreductases capable of oxidizing phenolic and non-phenolic compounds, including lignin, which are found and used in biomass degradation. These enzymes are present in different organisms and act on the biopolymerization of lignin in plants and the melanization of insect cuticles. Its activity in lignin structure is related to its application in biofuels production because …
Petroleum-based plastics (PBP) find multiple uses due to their lightness, transparency, and resistance, the latter attributed to their chemical inertness. However, the environmental challenges arising from the slow degradation of plastics have positioned them as adversaries. In response, initiatives are currently underway to tackle the accumulation of plastics in landfills and natural env…
