Biography
I am currently conducting my postdoctoral research at the Laboratory of Biochemistry of Hematophagous Arthropods at the Institute of Medical Biochemistry Leopoldo de Meis (IBqM/UFRJ) since 2024, with a project focused on studying metabolic adaptations during arthropod development. I obtained my degree in Pharmacy from UFRJ in 2014, followed by a Master’s degree in Biological Chemistry in 2017, and a Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry in 2022, both from UFRJ. I also completed a postdoctoral fellowship abroad in 2023 at Hokkaido University, Japan. My research is primarily focused on the fields of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology, using models such as embryonic arthropod cell cultures and medically and veterinary important arthropod vectors, including the insect Rhodnius prolixus, the mosquito Aedes aegypti, and the tick Rhipicephalus microplus. I have been applying a translational perspective between arthropods and cancer cell models, investigating the conservation and evo
