Secretaria da Saúde (São Paulo - Estado). Instituto Butantan (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Bachelor's degree in History (UCS, 2000), bachelor's and teaching degree in Biological Sciences (UCS, 2001), master's in Zoology (PUCRS, 2004), Ph.D. in Zoology (UNESP-RC, 2011) with a 4-month internship at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM, Canada) and 4 months at the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ, China). I was a postdoctoral fellow at MZUSP from 2012 to 2016, having interned for 12 months at Florida State University (FSU, USA). I participated as a CNPq DTI fellow in the Comparative Genomics project at LNCC at PUCRS between 2004 and 2007. I was a FAPESP TT5 fellow in the CeTICS project at the Butantan Institute between 2016 and 2017. Currently, I am a researcher at the Zoological Collections Laboratory of the Butantan Institute, where I am the curator of the Herpetological Collection. I have experience in Genetics and Zoology, with an emphasis on Systematics, Evolution of snakes, working mainly on the following topics: molecular phylogeny, phylogeography, bioinformatics, genomics, toxin evolution, and snake taxonomy.

The scientific collections represent the institutions responsible for documenting, preserve and improve the knowledge about the world's biodiversity. Such knowledge is decisive for the development of science and societies, especially in times of environmental or health crises. The state of São Paulo, through the Butantan Institute, has one of the main collections of snakes in the world. I…
Bothrops mattogrossensis is a viper belonging to the neuwiedi group (speckled pit vipers), with a broad distribution across the South American dry diagonal, mainly found in the humid regions of the Pantanal and the Cerrado of central Brazil. The complexity of diversification patterns and the overlap of informative characters among the neuwiedi group representatives make it difficult to ob…
After 266 years since the publication of the 10th edition of Linnaeus's Systema Naturae (1758), the taxonomic history of the snake species Tantilla melanocephala remains a controversial topic. The taxonomic identity and phylogenetic affinities of its populations are unclear and point to the existence of an undescribed species complex. In this doctoral project, our objectives are: (1) iden…

Despite the importance of the cephalic glands for the characterization and diversification of advanced snakes, little is known on their morphological diversity. The scarce bibliography is restricted to venom glands, one of the most studied gland among vertebrates. Even so, within snakes with posterior fangs, known as non-front-fanged snakes (NFFs), little is known about the anatomy and ev…
