I am currently a collaborative researcher at the National Laboratory of Biorenewables (LNBR) within the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), under the supervision of Dr. Nádia Sampaio, supported by a FAPESP Level 4 Technical Training Fellowship (TT-IV). My research project focuses on protein biochemistry related to the production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. During my undergraduate studies, I interned at CNPEM and also conducted my Scientific Initiation project there. Previously, I was supervised by Dr. Elizabeth Bilsland and developed a short project aimed at identifying yeast transporters through the treatment with specific fluorescent compounds. As part of this project, I spent six weeks at the University of Liverpool under the guidance of Dr. Douglas Kell, where I learned key techniques such as Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). My areas of interest include synthetic biology and microbial platforms for industrial applications. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The development of new biotechnological production routes is crucial for the development of a sustainable bioeconomy that consumes fewer petrochemical resources and combats the worsening effects of climate change. 3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is considered a platform chemical, capable of being chemically converted into a series of molecules with commercial applications, such as acrylate…
The global economy is heavily dependent on the petrochemical industry, which has contributed to worsening climate change. In this context, the development of microorganisms capable of producing renewable biochemicals is essential for the development of a sustainable bioeconomy. Aiming to contribute to the solution of this challenge, this project aims to develop a strain of Saccharomyces c…
