Degree in pharmacy and biochemistry from UNESP (2002) and PhD in Biotechnology from UNESP (2006). I am currently an assistant professor in the Biological Sciences Department of Pharmacy School of Araraquara - UNESP. Our lab is interested in understanding the control of protein synthesis using the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model for functional genomics analyses. We also use the budding yeast collections of mutants and fusion proteins in high content screenings (HCS) to search for cellular drug targets.
