2006-2008 Master Thesis in Veterinary Medicine (Animal Reproduction), School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences, University of São Paulo
2009-2013 PhD in Science, School of Animal Sciences and Food Engineering, University of São Paulo
Research Interests Cellular reprogramming
Nuclear transfer
Pluripotent stem cells
Biotechnology of reproduction
Research Overview As part of Dr. Flavio Meirelles´ team, we have focused the studies on animal reproduction, especially with the use of cellular and molecular biotechnology, in vitro embryo production, somatic cell nuclear transfer, animal transgenesis and production of embryonic stem cell lineages obtained from farm animals. The mastering in Animal Reproduction enabled the implementation of a bovine transgenic animal (GFP-positive) used for maternal-fetal interactions in cloned offspring. The PhD is focused on the study of nuclear reprogramming through nuclear transfer and direct reprogramming (induced reprogramming or iPS cells). Moreover, ongoing researches involves the production of farm animal bioreactors, dissection of molecular pathways involved in pluripotency and clinical therapy using mesenchymal stem cells in animals.
