Biologist with an M.Sc. in Radiation, Minerals and Materials Science and Technology from the Nuclear Technology Development Center (CDTN/CNEN) and a Ph.D. in Pathology from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil. Currently pursuing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte School of Health Sciences, conducting research in neuro-oncology focused on the identification and validation of molecular biomarkers for glioblastoma. His research expertise includes molecular oncology, gene expression analysis, real-time PCR, digital PCR (ddPCR), liquid biopsy, and the investigation of signaling pathways involved in tumor progression and therapeutic response. He has extensive experience in cell culture, molecular diagnostics, development and validation of laboratory methodologies, and statistical analysis applied to biomedical research. He is also actively involved in teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, as well as delivering courses in cell and molecular biology. His research is centered on translational medicine, aiming to bridge laboratory findings with clinical practice through the discovery and validation of diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic biomarkers in oncology.
