Biography

I attended the University of Sao Paulo (Bacharel Degree in Biology, 1987; Ph.D. in 1992, under the guidance of Dr. Ohara Augusto) and performed an interchanged program in the Eppley Institute - Nebraska, in collaboration with Dr. Ercole Cavalieri. I was a NIH Postdoctoral Fellow, in collaboration with Dr. Stadtman from 1992 to 1996. I was Professor at State University of Campinas (Brazil) from 1996 to 1997. I am currently Full Professor at Biosciences Institute –University of Sao Paulo (Brazil). I received a prize from the Governor of Sao Paulo State for participation in the Xylella fastidiosa Genome Project (2000). I was head of Department of Genetics and Evolutionary Biology –2013-2017. I am member of the SfRBM council (since 2013).

My research interests are on thiol-based proteins with emphasis in peroxiredoxin enzymes, using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism. The response to oxidative stress is also studied in bacteria, with emphasis in Xylella fastidiosa (bacterial plant pathogen) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We are characterizing biochemically and structurally a new class of antioxidant enzymes: Ohr (“Organic Hydroperoxide Resistance protein) that are potential targets for drug development. We pursue the structural and functional relationships of Cys-based proteins, employing multiple approaches.
