Biotechnology Specialist | Microbial Bioprocessing & Molecular Biology | Antimicrobial Peptides | R&D in Agro & Animal H

Profile Summary

Biotechnology professional with a PhD in Genomic Sciences and Biotechnology and over 10 years of experience in molecular biology and microbial bioprocessing. I specialize in the development and optimization of biotechnological products, with a focus on antimicrobial peptides, microbial fermentation, and applied industrial R&D. I have strong expertise in heterologous expression, as well as in bioprocess development and scale-up in bioreactors. My experience includes the production, purification, and characterization of bioactive compounds, particularly antimicrobial peptides. Currently, I coordinate R&D projects in an industrial biotechnology company focused on the development of bioinputs for agriculture and animal health. I lead multidisciplinary teams across different laboratory areas, including microbial bioprospecting, strain selection, molecular characterization, and fermentation processes. My role involves designing and optimizing microbial production processes, particularly for bacteria and entomopathogenic fungi, as well as developing formulations to improve stability, shelf life, and product performance. I also work closely with quality control, scale-up, and regulatory requirements, ensuring alignment between R&D, production, and commercial objectives. I can support projects involving microbial fermentation, molecular biology, bioactive compounds, and scientific/technical writing in biotechnology.
