Bachelor and licensed in Biological Sciences by the Institute of Biosciences of the University of São Paulo (USP) with specialization in Molecular Biology (Institute of Chemistry - USP) and Medical Genetics (Institute of Biosciences - USP). Master and Doctor by the Institute of Biosciences of the University of São Paulo. Professional experience in Brazil and abroad (Canada and Netherlands) in the field of oncology with a focus on Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (The Sick Kids Hospital Toronto - Canada) and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam - Netherlands). Working in the area of laboratory procedures related to DNA analysis and genomics with emphasis on mutation detection with Sanger sequencing methodologies, real-time PCR, MLPA, NGS and Arrays (SNP and CGH), preparation and release of clinical-molecular reports, in addition to experience with cell culture, in silico and bioinformatics analysis (R tool). I was president of the CIPA (Internal accident prevention committee, 2020-2021) of the Centro de Genomas - EuroFins, Specialist in NGS and promoted to the Coordinator of the Personalized Medicine Sector of the Centro de Genomas - EuroFins. From July 2021 to July 2025, I worked at Dasa Genomics as a Production Specialist, working across the entire NGS, Array (SNP, CGH, and methylation), MLPA, Real-Time PCR, and Sanger Sequencing process chain. I focused on developing and validating new products, improving benchtop procedures, analyzing results, and training the entire technical team. I am currently part of DASA's Research, Development, and Innovation team as a consultant, focusing on the development and implementation of highly complex molecular tests. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
