I graduated in Biological Sciences (Teaching certificate) from the Federal University of Alfenas (2009), and I have an MSc (2012) and (2018) PhD in Biological Sciences (Genetics) from the University of Sao Paulo - Brazil. As part of my PhD, I have also spent six months at the City College of New York (CUNY-USA), where I performed phylogeographic analysis using NGS data. I have wet lab experience with molecular biology routines, as well as experience with bioinformatics tools.
