Bachelor Degree in Marine Sciences (1994) and in Marine Biology (1997) from the Universidad Católica del Norte, Faculty of Marine Sciences, Coquimbo, Chile. PhD in Biological Sciences (Botany area) in 2002, in the Department of Botany, Institute of Biosciences USP. Postdoctoral researcher in the Laboratory of Marine Algae Édison José de Paula, IB-USP (2002-2004). Faculty member of the IB-USP since April 2005. My research area point out PHYCOLOGY, addressing multidisciplinary aspects related to physiology, chemistry and biochemistry, molecular biology, prospecting and mariculture of seaweeds. Some of the areas of my interest is to study aspects related to stress physiology (eg. effects of global climate changes, irradiance, UV radiation, nutrients, heavy metals, salinity, etc.). and to study the chemical biodiversity (eg, bioactive and antioxidative potential against bacteria, viruses and fungi, allelopathy, etc.) of macroalgae aiming its explotation holding in goods and services.

Benthic marine algae are fundamental components of the marine ecosystem and the Blue Amazon, representing a strategic and renewable natural resource that offers diverse ecosystem services and goods. One of the main challenges in the applicability of macroalgae is the lack of biomass produced by algiculture or present in the natural environment. Thus, both the production of high quality se…
This project aims to complement the activities already initiated in the international collaboration project SeaFeed, which has the partnership of the Institute Fraunhofer IVV, Institute of Botany of São Paulo, Institute of Fisheries, Unesp and Cia das Algas, besides the participation of undergraduate students, post-graduate students and post-doc researchers. Furthermore, this proposal is …
Macroalgae are a group of more diversity among photosynthetic organisms. Represent a strategic natural resource for the development of biotechnology in the country. As essential components of the marine ecosystem, physiological interdisciplinary approaches on sensitivity are essential to understanding the effects of global climate changes and pollution allowance monitoring, preservation a…
Macroalgae are one of the most diverse groups of photosynthetic organisms and represent a strategic natural resource for national biotechnological development. The searching for understanding of biological processes and potential exploration of biodiversity has been an interesting subject for researchers and enterprises. Integrative approaches of macroalgae physiology are fundamental to c…

Aquatic ecosystems are the main components of earth and produce more than 50% of planet biomass. Within this ecosystem, algae contribute significantly to global biodiversity, performing one or more functions and ecosystem services. Ecophysiological responses and the potential use and exploitation of macroalgae are influenced by environmental conditions as UV radiation. UV radiation effect…
The increase of global temperature caused by anthropic activities and natural processes have been influence marine organisms, especially benthic macroalgae, that undergo alterations in the composition of ecological structure and physiological functions. However, algae have been developed protection systems as such as antioxidants which prevent or mitigate the changes due to thermal stress…
Climate change have attracted increasing interest from scientists, politicians and the general public, because of the alarming consequences of the rise in temperature and the incidence of solar radiation on the earth's surface give rise over the coming years. Light is one of the major abiotic factors that affect the growth, development and reproduction of the algae. The Photosynthetically…

The effect of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a major factor affecting distribution and physiology of photosynthetic organisms on aquatic ecosystem. Studies with macroalgae indicate diverse biological disturbances in response to UVR, including growth rate alterations, photoinhibition of photosynthesis, pigment degradation, protein and DNA damages, among others. The main research Doctorate …
