Thaís Tereza Aguiar dos Reis

Pharmacist graduated from the University of Brasília (UnB). Currently pursuing a PhD in Molecular and Morphofunctional Biology at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in partnership with the National Biorenewables Laboratory (LNBR/CNPEM), I conduct research focused on high-throughput mapping of stress tolerance mechanisms in S. cerevisiae, with emphasis on characterizing membrane transporters for application in yeast metabolic engineering to optimize bio-based production. My approach integrates advanced molecular biology techniques and large-scale data analysis to identify and manipulate strategic genetic targets that enhance industrial robustness in microorganisms. In parallel, I actively contributed to developing interactive educational tools, including an Arduino-controlled panel and innovative teaching methodologies, for science communication in synthetic biology.I am proficient in a wide range of experimental and analytical techniques, including: CRISPR-Cas9, Western blotting, molecular cloning, and directed evolution, fermentative cultivation, as well as functional assays such as cytotoxicity evaluation, reactive oxygen species detection, and cell viability analysis. My experience encompasses both microbial cultivation and mammalian cell lines, complemented by skills in chemogenomic profiling and high-throughput screening for phenotype analysis. My training also includes systematic analysis of physiological parameters, such as growth curves and industrial stress resistance. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
