Biography
I am a veterinarian (Federal University of Paraná, Brazil, 2005), with a Master in Epidemiology (University of São Paulo, Brazil, 2008) and a PhD in Microbiology (Purdue University, USA, 2013). Currently, I am an Assistant Professor of Medical Bacteriology in the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of São Paulo, Brazil. My line of research is that of human and animal tuberculosis, with an emphasis on bacterial physiology & pathogenicity, and applied genomics. My laboratory combines wet lab research and bioinformatics to better understand the phenotypic differences of the members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. We also use genomics to understand the transmission of tuberculosis among animals and people, and to detect antibiotic resistance in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis. I am an advocate of One Health and believe on the urgent need to address this area to control tuberculosis worldwide. Over my career, I have published 75 peer-reviewed articles, 3 book chapters, and received many awards for research excellence, including the prestigious Fulbright fellowship and a mentorship award of the 2023 Best PhD Thesis in Veterinary Medicine in Brazil.
