Summary

Ph.D. by the Postgraduate Program in Genetics and Evolution, by the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and Institut del Ciencies del Mar - Barcelona, Spain (ICM). Master by the same Program, with a dissertation on the use of computer technologies for the design of enzymes ab initio. Bachelor of Biotechnology from the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), with a sandwich period in Biochemistry at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra (FCTUC) with an internship at the Center for Neuroscience of the University of Coimbra (CNC / FCTUC). Previous projects have included plant tissue culture, analysis, and bioprospecting of environmental and intestinal microbiota of insect pests from economically relevant crops, such as sugar cane.
