Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia, Inovações e Comunicações (Brasil). Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais (CNPEM) (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Ana received her PhD degree in Chemistry from UCSD (CA/USA) in 2003, after receiving Masters degrees in Chemistry and Physics, from UPenn (PA/USA), and USP (SP/BR) in 2000 and 1997, respectively. Her research work has encompassed hardware development for biophysical studies, with emphasis on optical tweezers and NMR probe development, and applications of NMR spectroscopy to biological systems. Since early 2016 she is a researcher at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory, part of CNPEM, in Campinas, Brazil, developing new experimental stations for Sirius, the 4th generation Synchrotron Light Source under construction at CNPEM. Ana has coordinated the CNPEM Summer School program from 2007 to 2010 and gives lectures on basic science topics to students and visitors to the laboratories, besides training users and students in NMR methods and Structural Biology. Since 2011 works as a volunteer scientist advisor at the Associação Anhumas Quero-quero, in Campinas, where she helps in the development of basic science activities with kids.

- Study of the molecular basis of Carbohydrate Binding Modules (CBMs) from metagenomic screenings, BP.PD
Abstract
In recent years, due to the growing global demand for energy, the dependence on fossil fuels and the limited natural ressources and environmental pollution, biofuels have attracted great interest as source of renewable energy. However, the production from plant biomass is still considered an expensive technology and with low efficiency. In this context, the study of carbohydrate bindin...
- Functional and structural characterization of the Bacillus's ZapA protein, BP.DR
Abstract
Bacterial cell division occurs through the formation of a contracting macromolecular complex, that yields two daughter cells. The key event is the assembly of a protein complex that changes the bacterial envelope growth direction, formed by a ring of FtsZ proteins, known as the Z ring, in the central region of the cell. Once the Z ring is formed, other proteins are recruited to the site...

- Metabolomic study of the biochemical mechanism of action of 2-aminoadipate in type 2 diabetes mellitus development, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
The applicant's mentor, Dr. Gerszten, and collaborators have identified and validated amino acid and lipid profiles of individuals destined to develop overt Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and atherosclerosis. In new unpublished work, the Gerszten laboratory has performed an analysis of "intermediate" metabolites using a recently-developed method for profiling organic acids, purines and pyrimidi...
- Structural studies of the Bacillus stearothermophilus's ZapA protein, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
The bacterial division occurs through a citocinetic apparatus that shrinks, resulting in two daughter cells. This apparatus, also known as divisome, is a macromolecular complex responsible for the change in growth direction of the bacterial envelope (membrane and cell wall), creating the division septum. A key step in the division is the Z-ring formation, a prokaryotic tubulin polymer, ...
