Biography

Adjunct Professor, Department of Biology, Federal University of Sergipe-UFS. Lecturer in the Postgraduate Programme in Parasite Biology - UFS. Graduated in Biological Sciences from the Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (2003), with a master's degree (2006) and doctorate (2011) in Genetics from the Postgraduate Programme in Genetics at the same institution. She has experience in immunogenetics of malaria parasites, evaluating genetically determined factors in parasite-host interaction, with an emphasis on polymorphisms of the immune response in Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum infections. Her main line of work is in the area of Molecular Genetics applied to infectious and parasitic diseases, currently working on the molecular characterisation of arboviruses in mosquito vectors; molecular monitoring and diagnosis of viruses in the gastrointestinal tract and studies of the evolutionary dynamics of rotavirus. He is currently working on the surveillance and molecular characterisation of different respiratory tract viruses that cause flu-like syndromes and severe acute respiratory syndrome.
