neuropharmacology, toxinology, and translational neuroscience using zebrafish as a model organism. My research focuses on understanding neurotoxic and neuroprotective mechanisms in vivo, exploring the pharmacological potential of bioactive peptides and venom-derived compounds. During my Ph.D. at Instituto Butantan, I investigated the molecular and functional effects of fish venoms and applied CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in zebrafish to explore developmental and neural pathways. I have experience with a broad range of techniques including fluorescence microscopy, live imaging, behavioral pharmacology, and analytical tools such as HPLC and mass spectrometry. I am passionate about the interface between natural compounds, neurobiology, and drug discovery.
