Biomedical scientist with research experience in microbiology, molecular biology, and biochemistry. During undergraduate studies, worked with plant-derived compounds, investigating the cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity of Cereus jamacaru DC in the context of urinary tract infections.
During the Master's program, developed research in molecular biology focused on oncogenic viruses, including HPV, CMV, and EBV, and their role in cervical cancer. Currently, as a PhD student, continues to apply molecular biology approaches alongside biochemistry and parasitology, with research focused on plant lectins and their potential therapeutic applications against cutaneous leishmaniasis, involving biochemical and immunological analyses.
