Felipe de Paula Nogueira Cruz

I am a Brazilian Biomedical scientist with more than ten years of experience in Microbiology/Biotechnology research environment.My experiences are relied on molecular diagnosis of Equine encephalitis and Rabies viruses (RNA viruses), and bioinformatics applied to phylogeny, molecular epidemiology.As a Ph.D. candidate, it granted to me by the Brazilian agency, CAPES a full scholarship at Life Sciences Institute of University of Michigan (one year), where I gained major experience in Microbiology and characterization of microbial specialized metabolites by analytical techniques.After dedicating on a volunteer postdoctoral research within Dr. Cristina Paiva de Sousas Group in Brazil I started working at Dr. Krista Wiggintons Laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow. There, I had the opportunity to serve the community by efforts on monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 and development detection pipelines for other viral pathogens (Influenza A, Monkeypox, and Respiratory syncytial virus) in Southeast Michigan wastewater systems.Currently, I hold a position of Assistant Professor of Biology at Graceland University.
