Doutor em Ciências pela Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), com pesquisa focada no papel de diferentes solventes na termodinâmica do enovelamento de proteínas, por meio de simulações computacionais. Realizou estágio sanduíche de um ano no Center for Theoretical Biological Physics (Rice University, EUA) sob supervisão do Prof. José N. Onuchic e estudou o enovelamento de proteínas com capacidade de fold-switching. Mestre em Ciências (2020) e graduado em Química Licenciatura Plena (2018) pela Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA), onde desenvolveu parâmetros de campo de força para compostos metálicos. Atualmente realiza pós-doutorado na UNICAMP e estuda o efeito de inibidores em celobiohidrolases. Tem interesse no estudo do enovelamento de proteínas e nos efeitos de solventes sobre macromoléculas.

The enzymatic breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass is crucial in producing biofuels and biochemicals, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Cel7A cellobiohydrolase is one of the most efficient cellulases involved in this process, catalyzing the hydrolysis of cellulose into cellobiose. However, cellobiose and other carbohydrates, including glucose, mannan, xylan, and xyloolig…
The structure of proteins and their folding mechanisms are dependent on the molecular environment. Proteins can assume distinct conformations, which might be active or inactive, or even assume different functionalities, as a function of the temperature, pressure, or of the properties of solvent in which they are immersed. Proteins assume their function predominantly in aqueous media. Howe…
Riboswitches are a type of RNA molecule that act as receptors for specific metabolites and control gene expression. When a metabolite binds to the aptamer domain of the riboswitch, it causes alterations in its secondary and tertiary structure. Riboswitches, like proteins, are also modulated by various external factors, including cosolvents. However, the effects of cosolvents on the stabil…
