I’m a PhD researcher in the field of Molecular Biology, who has a great passion for science. I worked in different areas of knowledge of Biological Sciences, with emphasis on the area of virology (HPV), vaccine development subfield (Science and Technology/Innovation). During my Ph.D., I researched a therapeutic DNA vaccine against cervical cancer in a pre-clinical model. In addition, throughout my scientific training, I carried out research in the fields of population genetics (genetic polymorphisms), plant breeding (in vitro micropropagation) and epigenetics (DNA methylation analysis). During my doctorate, I participated in two sandwich Doctorate internships abroad at the Istituto Nazionale Tumori Regina Elena, in Rome – Italy. During my undergraduate, master's and doctoral studies, I accumulated around 500 hours of teaching internships for elementary, secondary and higher education students, holding theoretical and practical classes in the laboratory. Through years of research, I have collaborated in the writing of scientific papers and books; I have participated in National and International Congresses (Brazil and Italy) with presentation of works in oral and poster modalities; In addition to having been part of the review boards in more than 10 undergraduate theses.As interpersonal skills I can highlight: self-management ability; great ability to work in a team with easy interaction with people; adaptation to new work environments and new research areas; ability to express myself in 3 languages (portuguese, english and italian); curiosity and passion for biomedical research; resilience and persistence when facing difficulties and willingness to learn. My mission is to contribute to the research of difficult-to-manage diseases, such as cancer, thus improving the quality of life of patients.
