Profile Summary

I am a final-year PhD candidate in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the State University of Campinas (São Paulo, Brazil), conducting cutting-edge research on single-cell transcriptome analysis of bone cancers in collaboration with Boldrini Children's Hospital. My expertise lies at the intersection of Oncology and Molecular Biology, with a strong focus on utilizing advanced multiomics approaches. I specialize in bioinformatics, which is the core of my work. I analyze large-scale datasets using tools like EPIC arrays for methylation, whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing, bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, liquid biopsy technologies, and mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) to uncover key insights into cancer biology. I had the privilege of working for a year at the Wellcome Sanger Institute (UK) as an external postgraduate researcher, where I honed my skills in computational biology, particularly in single-nuclei RNA sequencing and whole-genome sequencing. In addition to my computational expertise, I bring a robust background in wet lab techniques. Throughout my doctoral research, I designed and conducted experiments to prepare libraries for the aforementioned omics tools, giving me a deep understanding of data generation, quality control, and the technical details behind the methodologies. My interdisciplinary skill set, combining bioinformatics proficiency with wet lab experience, enables me to bridge the gap between experimental data and computational analysis, driving impactful discoveries in cancer research.
