Marcelo Malisano Barreto Filho

Marcelo Barreto Filho has a Technology degree in Biofuels at the Faculty of Technology of Jaboticabal (FATEC) and a bachelor?s degree in Biological Sciences at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), with a period in Canada at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) as an exchange student. During his undergraduate years, he developed research in Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTIR) applied to microalgae discrimination. Marcelo has a MS in Ecology and Natural Resources from UFSCar, with a sandwich period in the Evolutionary Studies Institute at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. During his MSc Marcelo developed research in Programmed Cell Death (PCD) on coccoid green microalgae and its evolutionary ecology fitness consequences. Currently, Marcelo is a PhD student at Morris Lab working on the co-evolution of heterotrophic bacteria and phytoplankton in face of environmental change. His project?s main objective is to quantify the evolutionary and ecological stability of black queen interactions (BQ) impacting the biogeochemical cycles of nutrients in aquatic ecosystems.
