Biography

I have a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Piauí (2010); specialization (2012), master's degree (2014), doctorate (2017) and post-doctorate (2021) in the Postgraduate Program in Microbiology at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. I have experience in the area of Microbiology, with an emphasis on Clinical Mycology. I was a consultant in laboratory surveillance at the General Coordination of Public Health Laboratories of the Ministry of Health and I currently carry out teaching and research activities in the postgraduate programs in Environment (PPGMMA) and Biosciences Applied to Health (PPGBAS) at CEUMA University. I worked mainly on research involving diseases caused by fungi, fungus-host interaction, antifungal drugs, co-infections, transmigration of microorganisms across the human blood-brain barrier.
