Prof. Dr. Daniel Carvalho Pimenta graduated in Biomedical Science from the Paulista School of Medicine (UNIFESP), and he obtained his Master’s degree in Molecular Biology (Biochemistry) from the Federal University of São Paulo (1997) and a Doctor of Science (Biochemistry) from the Federal University of São Paulo (2001). He earned his Post-Doctorate at the Butantan Institute and Atheris Laboratoires (Geneva). He is currently a scientific researcher (PqC-VI) at the Butantan Institute. He is also a professor and advisor in the Post-Graduation Program in Toxinology at the Butantan Institute and the Graduate Program in Tropical Diseases at Botucatu Medical School (UNESP). He has experience in the field of biochemistry, with a focus on the isolation and characterization of molecules with relevant biological activity from animal poisons and secretions, mainly amphibians and marine organisms, using approaches that involve liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (including proteomics), with a particular focus on peptides and proteins, as well as low-molecular-weight toxins.
