Profile Summary

I hold a Bachelor degree in Biomedicine (Universidade FEEVALE, Brazil), a Master and a PhD in Medical Sciences: Endocrinology (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, UFRGS, Brazil). Moreover, I am also specialist in Bioinformatics (Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul, PUCRS, Brazil) and in Genetic Engineering (Instituto AVM, Brazil). From August 2018 to August 2019, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Navarra. As a postdoctoral fellow, my research has provided a compelling link between epigenetic factors, especially microRNAs expression, and weight loss induced by diet in humans. Moreover, I have also worked for almost 10 years at the Molecular and Cellular laboratory of Endocrine Division at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brazil. At this lab, I work with genetics and epigenetics of diabetes mellitus and its complications. Large experience in performing systematic reviews and meta-analyses. My investigative qualities of independence, creativity, and critical thinking; my technical skills in molecular biology (gene expression, DNA polymorphisms analysis), genetics, bioinformatics, and biostatistics; and my experience in metabolic diseases, especially diabetes and obesity and my excellent English communication skills (written and oral) would be an asset to your laboratory/ company. Moreover, I am familiar with integrative research approaches within the broad area of basic metabolic research with an application towards human pathophysiology. Additionally, I deal with interesting bioinformatics tools which could improve the project results.
