I am a biologist with a degree from the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ/USP). My academic background is in molecular biology, genetics, and bioinformatics, with research experience in fungal genomics, effector genes, resistance gene analogs (RGAs), and plant–pathogen interactions. During my Master’s, I investigated the Sporisorium panici-leucophaei × sourgrass pathosystem. Currently, as a Ph.D. candidate, my work focuses on transcriptomic (RNA-Seq) data analysis and the integration of omic data into biological networks to study plant–fungus interactions and the role of resistance genes, with a sandwich period at the University of California, Davis. I also hold an MBA in Agribusiness (ESALQ/USP, 2023), where I studied the strategic alignment of Embrapa with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
