Carlos Eduardo Brantis de Carvalho

My name is Carlos Eduardo Brantis de Carvalho, I have a PhD in Biotechnology from UNESP and a Post-Doctorate in Neurology from FMUSP. I obtained a Bachelor's degree on Biotechnology from the Faculty of Sciences and Letters of Assis and the Titles of Master and Doctor from the Institute of Chemistry of Araraquara. I did my scientific training with the research group in Molecular and Cellular Biology of Microorganisms directed by Professor Dr. Sandro Roberto Valentini, in which I developed my master's (2009) and PhD (2014) work. I was also able to develop part of my doctoral work at the University of Paris Descartes (Paris V) on the guidance of Dr. Mounira Chelbi-Alix. I have extensive experience in cell biology, molecular and cell culture techniques such as: cloning procedures, site-directed mutagenesis, DNA sequencing, production of recombinant proteins in yeasts and bacteria and production/purification/validation of polyclonal antibodies. I also have experience in the maintenance/cultivation of mammalian cells and their use in several assays for the functional characterization of proteins. I have an advanced level of understanding of the English language and basic knowledge of the French language. During my academic life I was able to deal with the different aspects of science, such as: Development, standardization and validation of in vitro methods in the area of cellular and molecular biology. Conducting tests, quality management, laboratory management the teaching practice, the supervision of students in scientific initiation, the planning and development of research projects. I have worked as a technician in the laboratory of molecular and cellular biology of microorganisms of FCFAR-UNESP, the same laboratory where I did my postgraduation studies and, also, I was hired as Scientific Advisor (Product and Application Specialist - FAS) on Pensabio Biotecnologia Ltda. providing advanced technical support to illumina products (MiSeq/NextSeq/HiSeq Level I FAS training certified) and Analytik-Jena. In February 2018 I finished my post-doctorate at FMUSP, supervised by Dr. Suely Marie, where I used genomics tools to obtain data and knowledge in the epigenetic processes involved in tumor progression in the CNS and SNPs present in cases of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes. Currently I am a medical student at FMABC, started at UNIARA (transfer), since 2017. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
