Infectious Diseases & Public Health Researcher | Virology & Scientific Review

Profile Summary

I am a researcher in infectious diseases and biotechnology with a strong background in virology, molecular biology, and genomic surveillance. I hold a Master’s degree in Biotechnology and have worked at leading Brazilian institutions, including the Butantan Institute and IPT, with experience in biopharmaceutical development, microbial cultivation, genetic manipulation, and biomolecule extraction (DNA, RNA, proteins), as well as RT-qPCR and quality control processes. Currently, I am part of the Center for Viral Surveillance and Serological Assessment (CeVIVAS), contributing to genomic surveillance of viruses such as Influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and Dengue, supporting vaccine development and public health responses. I am also affiliated with the University of São Paulo Medical School, which has strengthened my understanding of healthcare systems, epidemiology, and the interface between scientific research and clinical practice. I provide scientific services including: * Manuscript review and editing (biological and health sciences) * Data analysis and interpretation (genomics, RNA-seq) * Research support and scientific consulting * Technical writing and methodological improvement My work focuses on improving clarity, scientific rigor, and the overall quality of research outputs. I help researchers and organizations turn complex biological data into clear, publishable results. I am experienced in Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and I value clear communication, reliability, and high-quality delivery.
