Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Centro Pluridisciplinar de Pesquisas Químicas, Biológicas e Agrícolas (CPQBA) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
I completed my BSc in Biology at the Federal University of Latin American Integration (UNILA). During that time, I had the opportunity to do an exchange program (Science Without Borders) for one year in the US, studying at Arizona State University. Later, I completed my MSc in Biotechnology at Sao Paulo State University (UNESP). Since August of 2020, I am working with Dr. Valeria Maia Merzel?s team at the GEMM labs as Ph.D student of Genetics and Molecular Biology at State University of Campinas UNICAMP. I am interested in studying the composition and functioning of microbial communities and their biosynthetic potential for natural products using metagenomic approaches. Currently, we are studying the biosynthetic gene cluster diversity of Antarctic microbiomes. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Biosynthetic genes of natural products (NP) are found in clusters in bacteria, being the non-ribosomal peptides and polyketides two families of compounds that have arousing great interest in the scientific community due to their great diversity of structures and functions with pharmacological and industrial importance. In this sense, understanding the diversity and which environmental fac…
Microorganisms inhabiting extreme environments are supposed to encode secondary metabolites as a survival strategy for thriving under harsh environmental conditions. Such environments harbor an unexplored potential for the discovery of new chemical compounds which could lead to new drugs. Antarctic environments have been particularly overlooked and the biosynthetic potential of soil micro…
