Animal Scientist graduated from Sao Paulo State University, Brazil. I obtained my Master's and Doctor's degrees from the same Institution, studying fish broodstock nutrition and functional amino acids supplementation, respectively. In 2016, I worked with in vitro analyses under Dr. Delbert Gatlin III supervision at Texas AM University (TX, USA) as part of my doctorate. During two post-doctorates (University of Sao Paulo and Sao Paulo State University, 2017-2021), I had the opportunity to continue working with fish nutrition and health under Dr. Jose Eurico Possebon Cyrino and Dr. Margarida Maria Barros supervisions. I have experience in diet formulation and processing, feeding trials, digestibility assays and evaluation of performance/health enhancing additives, as well as the utilization of agro-industrial co-products in aquafeeds. I have been applying different tools such as hematological analysis, immune system assessment, and antioxidant system activity to better understand the impacts of nutrition on disease resistance and the ability of fish to cope with stress. I am a reviewer of renowned journals in the fish nutrition and health field and have published articles in high impact scientific journals. I am currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Texas AM University, College Station, TX. (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…
