CV Lattes
Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Animal Scientist graduated from São Paulo State University (UNESP) Botucatu campus, with Masters and Ph.D. degrees obtained from the same institution, with emphasis on nutrition and health of aquatic organisms. Part of the doctoral studies was conducted through a sandwich program at Texas AM University (College Station, USA), focusing on immunology and in vitro analyses.Two postdoctoral research fellowships (at ESALQ/USP, Piracicaba, and UNESP Botucatu) were dedicated to advancing research in animal nutrition and health. Academic and scientific experience includes the determination of nutritional requirements, digestibility trials, and the evaluation of additives with potential to improve animal performance and health, as well as agro-industrial co-products with functional properties.Expertise also includes studies in animal health, employing tools such as hematology, immunology, histology, assessment of antioxidant activity, enzymatic and biochemical analyses, in addition to conducting experimental challenges (bacterial, thermal, and those related to management and transport).Research findings have been published in high-impact international scientific journals, in collaboration with well-established research groups. Serves as a reviewer for scientific journals in the field of nutrition and health of aquatic organisms. Currently works as an Associate Researcher at Texas AM University, developing research projects focused on nutrition and health of aquatic organisms. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Antibiotics and chemotherapeutics have been used in the treatment of bacterial infections associated with the intensification of aquaculture practices. However, these measures are not appropriate from the environmental and biosafety points of view, which stimulates the search for sustainable alternatives. In recent years, the use of nutritional strategies and immunonutrition have emerged …
Two experiments will be conducted to evaluate the effect of glutamine supplementation in Nile tilapia diets. Study I: aims to determine the optimal level of glutamine supplementation through productive performance responses, body composition, haematological, immunological, biochemical responses and intestinal morphology. Four hundred masculinized Nile tilapia juveniles (5g) will be distri…
Studies have shown that under appropriate conditions, glutamine is essential for cell proliferation, acting as a respiratory fuel for enterocytes and lymphocytes, with beneficial effects on the function of stimulated immune cells. Thus, specific components of both the innate and adaptive immune systems of Nile tilapia will be evaluated after supplementation of culture media with glutamine…
