Biography

I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in biomedicine (1996) at the Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, a Master (1998) and a Ph.D. (2003) at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). I completed my post-doctoral work at the Fiocruz, Brazil (2003-2004), and at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (2012-2014), in Belgium. I have been a full professor at the UFRJ since 2004. I received a grant for Scientists of Rio de Janeiro State (from 2009 to date), and CNPq Research Scientist fellowship (from 2016 to date). I have been elected to the Board of the International Marine Biotechnology Association (IMBA-EUA, 2022-2031). I currently develop and coordinate research activities in the Marine and Molecular Bacteriology Laboratory at the Institute of Microbiology, UFRJ, where I supervise undergraduate and graduate students.
