Graduated in Biological Sciences and PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology at Sao Paulo State University - Unesp, Rio Claro, Brazil. Performed a 6-month internship for the development of a doctoral dissertation at Keele University (United Kingdom) at the Chemical Ecology Group - Lennard-Jones Laboratories, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. E.D. Morgan and Dr. Falko P. Drijfhout. She is in her second postdoctoral and has completed 1 year postdoctoral internship at the Department of Experimental Biology, Masaryk University (Czech Republic). She Has experience in internal morphology of social insects, chemical ecology and applied ecology, focusing on histology and ultrastructure, acting on the following subjects: bees, termites, leaf-cutting ants, histochemistry, cytochemistry, cell alterations, aging and cell death, glandular and cuticular chemical composition, surface pheromones, non-specific pesticides, toxicity; immune defense system, antioxidants.

This project aims to evaluate the effects of pesticides, as well as other environmental contaminants used in the cultivation of sugarcane in the cell death of leaf cutter ant, Atta sexdens rubropilos, by analyzing the viability of brain cells, digestive tract and Malpighian tubules, as well as the evaluation of the possible changes that may occur in the structure of the cytoskeleton and t…
Leafcutter ants can be a serious agricultural pest, defoliating crops and damaging roads and farmland with their nest-making activities. The chemical control is still the most common strategy to minimize the damage caused by these ants. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as products of normal cellular metabolic activities and also produced in response to a variety of exogenous ag…
