Alberta Pulse Growers funded project to find biotechnological solutions for a greener agricultural system in Canada.* Designing elegant solutions to genetic modification in bacteria for agricultural application.* Using technologies as Gibson assembly and in-vivo recombination to build large DNA constructions(30K+). Highly experienced in Snap Gene features.* Designed and constructed marked protein and performed in-vivo analysis of protein mobilization using Confocal Microscopy.* During COVID-19 pandemic lockdown co-authored two review articles.* Built experience as Public Server by participating in training, meetings and writing weekly reports to management.

Calgary, Canada Area

Finished experiments and data analysis related with pervious postdoc and started experiments for the next project with the Government of Canada.* Performed standard Molecular Biology and Microbiology procedures and Microscopy (Transmission Electron Microscope).* Designed and executed experiments including bacterial genetic engineering, mutations and cloning using SnapGene.* Performed statistical data analysis using R.* Produced high-quality standard for laboratory management, organization, and equipment maintenance.

Calgary, Alberta

Coordinated a postdoctoral fellowship awarded by the Brazilian government to be developed abroad (Science without borders). The project was about the study of chemotaxis and motility in Rhizobium leguminosarum.* Designed and executed classic and new generation experiments - including but not limited to microbiology tests and cells maintenance, cloning, conjugation, transformation, DNA and RNA isolation, PCR, q-PCR, in-vitro protein expression, bacteria motility and chemotaxis behaviour.* Performed statistical data analysis, preparing technical and experimental records and results; presented findings to both the Supervisor and the public at Conferences.* Produced high-quality standard for laboratory management, organization, and equipment maintenance including aseptic conditions, cleaning, and waste disposal.* Ordered, received and kept an inventory of laboratory material (Chematix).

Curitiba Area, Brazil

Conducted a project to determine protein secretion profile in bacteria carrying mutation on the type 3 secretion system. Did protein expression and purification and tested for pathogenic response in-vivo.* Developed a research and experimental project in Proteomics.* Designed and executed experiments such as protein expression, recombinant protein purification, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, peptide sequencing, data analysis. * Performed experiments in mass spectrometry using a MALDI/TOF-TOF.* Performed statistical data analysis, preparing technical and experimental records and results; presented findings to the Supervisor.* Collaborated with fellows to co-mentor graduate students.* Produced high-quality standard for laboratory management, organization, and equipment maintenance.
