Bachelor's at Biology from Centro Universitário Barão de Mauá (2003), Master's at Agronomy (Genetic and Plant Breeding) from Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho - FCAV/UNESP (2006) and Doctorate at Genetics from Universidade de São Paulo FMRP/USP (2010). Has experience in Biochemistry, focusing on Plant Molecular Biology and Plant Physiology where he worked with characterization of genes involved with reproductive proccess of Nicotiana tabacum. At present he is a post-doctorate of Plant Biology Department of IB/UNICAMP together with researchers of Centro de Cana - IAC. His work its related to Characterization of transcription factors involved with secondary cell wall and/or lignin biosynthesis. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

There is is a growing need for renewable energy sources with low environmental impact. A viable alternative is to use genetically modified plants to increase biomass for lignocellulosic biofuel production. In this scenario, one of the main bottlenecks for obtaining genetically modified plants is the lack of promoters well characterized as a tool to direct the expression of previously sele…
Plants with high content of lignocellulosic biomass are being selected for the production of second-generation ethanol as an alternative to fossil fuels. However, the presence of lignin, a polymeric phenolic component of the secondary cell wail, creates a significant bottleneck, because it difficults cellulose extraction (recalcitrance). Additionally, soluble phenolics inhibit the growth …
Plants with high content of lignocellulosic biomass are being selected for the production of second-generation ethanol. One of the main bottleneck to use biomass for bioethanol production is lignin, a polymeric component of the secondary cell wall which confers recalcitrance and inhibits fermenting microorganisms growth. In this scenario, transgenic plants with less or altered lignin comp…
The demand for renewable technologies to replace fossil fuels is currently in use of biofuels, such as biodiesel and bioethanol. A raw material for the use of these materials is of vegetable origin, mainly grasses such as corn and sugarcane, through the fermentation of the most sold sugar - such as starch and sucrose -, and other less usual, but of limited quality, such as those of lignoc…
Currently, ethanol is produced worldwide using mainly sugar cane and corn as raw material. After milling of maize grain or stalk of sugarcane, much of the biomass rich in cellulose, it is lost. One of the major bottlenecks for the best use of this biomass, for second generation ethanol, is the presence of lignin adhered to the cell wall of the cellulose and in this scenario, transgenic pl…

The search for renewable fuels has become an increasing challenge. In this scenario, the construction of transgenic plants have been a major alternative in the attempt to reduce the amount and/or to change structure of lignin for obtaining ethanol from cellulosic origin. One of the main targets to construct these transgenic plants have been the Transcription Factors (TFs). In the last yea…
