I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Health Sciences. Throughout the last years, I focused on advancing my expertise in bioinformatics, biotechnology, epidemiology, and virology.
My Ph.D. project centers around ‘The influence of the dynamic evolution of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) on global antiretroviral resistance in Brazil.’ This research aims to explore the intricate interplay between the evolving nature of HIV and the emergence of antiretroviral resistance on a global scale, with a specific focus on the context of Brazil. By undertaking this project, I aspire to contribute valuable insights that could inform strategies for more effective HIV management and treatment.
During my master’s, I dedicated my efforts to the development of a genetic Toolbox for the emergent ‘Sporothrix brasiliensis’ fungi. The culmination of these endeavors marked a milestone in my academic journey, as I proudly co-authored and published this groundbreaking work in a high-impact journal, Microbiology Spectrum (Impact Factor: 9.043, Quartile: Q1, Feb 2023), positioning myself as one of the first authors.
As I embark on my doctoral journey, I am enthusiastic about further contributing to the field of health sciences and expanding my research horizons in pursuit of new knowledge and advancements.
