Education
I am a Biology Student at USP - University of São Paulo, Brazil (http://www.usp.br/internacional/home.php?&idioma=en) I work at the Department of Microbiology of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences (http://www3.icb.usp.br/bmm/index.php?lang=en)

Summary
My research involves the improvement of productivity and efficiency of biotechnological processes, applying renewable feedstocks and metabolic engineering strategies. I've been working on the optimization of bioplastics (PHAs - polyhydroxyalkanoates) production from sugarcane bagasse hemicellulose hydrolysate by bacteria.

I am interested in Synthetic Biology, Systems Biology, Bioengineering (e.g. protein engineering, metabolic engineering, evolution engineering), iGEM, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Biodegradable Plastics, Biofuels, Microdiesel, Sustainability, Biodiversity Conservation, Scientific Divulgation
