André Uchimura Bastos

Bachelor's and licenciate degrees in Biological Sciences (2010 and 2011), and Ph.D. in Sciences from the Universidade Federal de São Paulo (2016), with postdoctoral training at the DNA Repair Laboratory of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Univercidade de São Paulo (2022). I have international research experience as a visiting scholar at the Istituto di Endocrinologia ed Oncologia Sperimentale (IEOS) of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) at the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Naples, Italy (20132014), and at the Institut für Toxikologie, Universitätsmedizin Mainz, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Mainz, Germany (20202021). I worked as an adjunct lecturer in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and in Supervised Internship for Licentiate Degrees at the Diadema Campus of the Universidade Federal São Paulo (UNIFESP). My research focuses on Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and Genetics, with an emphasis on Human and Medical Genetics, particularly involving clinical and molecular characterization of carcinomas. I have a special interest in mutagenic processes and their roles in evolution and cancer development. Recently, I am also engaged in biology education research, as well as in extension initiatives in University. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
