Profile Summary

• Ph.D. in Chemistry and Biotechnology at the Federal University of Alagoas (Brazil) and at Kansas University (USA) for 15 months as visiting scholar. My research focused on genetically modifying the enzyme Histamine dehydrogenase and developing an electrochemical biosensor for histamine. • Experience in spectroscopic methods (UV/Vis, steady-state, FTIR, and fluorescence) and electrochemical (CV, amperometry, protein film voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry). Characterization of proteins (protein expression, purification, kinetic assays), SPR, AFM. • Use of nanomaterials in developing biosensors, such as carbon nanotubes, nano Au, quantum dots, and dendrimers. Organic electrochemistry, to analyze new drugs and their mechanism of action. • Knowledge of drug delivery systems (cyclodextrin, liposomes, dendrimers) • Through joint projects with research groups in Brazil, Brazil, and the USA I have also developed strong scientific communication and collaborative skills.
