Researcher/scientist with expertise in technological development, with undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees in pharmaceutical sciences from the University of São Paulo. Her career is focused on the pharmaceutical industry, with more recent work in the development of extraction and purification processes for biopolymers from biomasses. Participation in projects with an emphasis on manufacturing processes for solid dosage forms and pharmaceutical coating in fluidized beds, as well as the development of drug and cosmetic formulations and their large-scale manufacturing. Her domain of analytical techniques include thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry, infrared spectroscopy, liquid chromatography, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, particle size distribution analysis, in addition to tests of the mechanical behavior of films. She has experience in the characterization of solid dispersions and the formulation of sustained drug release systems. Professional experience in the pharmaceutical industry in the R&D area includes activities focused on the design of formulations, use of technological excipients, and the study and optimization of pharmaceutical form manufacturing processes on an industrial scale, participating in the implementation of Quality by Design and the management of a product's life cycle, within the new sanitary requirements of ANVISA.
