Holding a dual-degree PhD in Translational Plant Sciences from The Ohio State University and Plant Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of São Paulo, I have developed a robust research portfolio focused on the intricate chemical dialogues between plants and microorganisms. My most recent research projects as a postdoc related to how climate change influences the soybean metabolome when infected with Asian soybean rust. This work was performed in Brazil and was funded by FAPESP. I also worked with coffee and other Rubiaceae trees, their metabolism and how their endophytic community was shaped by their environment and agricultural practices. The NSF funded this study and it was performed in the US in collaboration with UCR (Costa Rica).</p>
