I am a veterinarian with a teaching degree in Biological Sciences and a Master of Science (MSc) from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil. I have research experience in histology, primary cell culture, and cryopreservation of somatic cells, including fibroblasts and feather follicle-derived keratinocytes from birds. My academic background also includes the collection and preservation of biological samples from endangered bird species for genetic resource biobanking, cell viability assays, and primary cell culture of mammalian and reptilian cells. My research interests focus on biotechnologies applied to wildlife conservation, particularly cellular biobanking, cryobiology, and biodiversity conservation.
