Márcia Mercês Aparecida Bianchi dos Santos

I am currently a Visiting Scholar at James Cook University JCU and hold a permanent positions of Lecturer in Microbiology at Federal University of Juiz de Fora UFJF since 2013. After completing a degree in Veterinary Medicine at the State University of São Paulo Júlio de Mesquita Filho UNESP (2005) and a Ph.D. in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the State University of Campinas UNICAMP (2010), I was a post-doctor at the Institute of Poultry Diseases Freie Universität Berlin (2011). As a veterinarian microbiologist, my experience is mostly based in basic and applied microbiology, molecular biology, serology and pathology. I have been working with surveillance and pathogenesis of enteric protozoa and respiratory viruses in both humans and domestic/wild animals, which provided me with a wide range of skills and knowledge in experimental infections, diagnostics tests for infectious diseases, bioinformatics and biostatistics.
