Biography

I am currently one of the Principal Investigators of the Synthetic Biology Laboratory from the University of Brasilia, Brazil. Specifically designing and testing integrases-based genetic switches to control gene regulation in eukaryotic cells. Our laboratory is also interested on development of synthetic biology tools that can be applyied to industrial biotechnology, development of chassis organisms and study gene function on fungal virulence response. We are evaluating CRISPR-Cas9 systems as tools to HDR and overexpression to yeast industrial strains and suicidal CRISPR-Cas9 system as a multiplex gene-editing tool in Crytococcus neoformans. Additionally we are development a software to identify SH regions, and generating a prototype to detect RNA virus, such as SARS-CoV-2, H5N1 and DENV.
