Biography
I am a Biotechnologist with experience in the fields of Environmental Microbiology, Microbial Ecology, Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, One Health, and Data Science. My research focuses on antibiotic resistance dissemination in the environment and possible human contamination as well as molecular diagnostics for antibiotic resistance detection. This includes the study of bacterial diversity from different ecosystems (aquatic habitats, fresh products) and, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic-resistance genes detection by culture-dependent and -independent methods. I also have experience with seaweed biorefinery and biomass conversion to value-added chemicals. Currently, I am working at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of São Paulo (São Paulo) as a Postdoctoral Researcher. I am involved in several national and international projects about the dispersion of antibiotic resistance in the environment, molecular diagnostics, and bioinformatics (microbiome and WGS analysis).
I am also a Professor of Microbiology at the Faculdade de Medicina do ABC (Santo André, São Paulo).
