Professional info
I am a young doctor in biology specialized in the study of the diversity, the ecology and the biogeography of microeukaryotes. I did my PhD in th laboratory of Soil Biodiversity in the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland) from 2012 to 2017. I have now a Postdoc position in São Paulo in Brazil and one of my interest will be to learn more about the transcriptomics and metatranscriptomics approaches.
Work experience
2019 - Present Postdoc Laboratory of Evolutionary Protistology, University of São Paulo, Brazil
Project: From environmental metabarcoding/metatranscriptomic to a single-cell
transcriptomics: evaluation of human impact on the microeukaryotic diversity of the Tietê
River, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
2017 - 2019 Postdoc Laboratory of soil biodiversity, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Project: The effect of cadavers, blood, urine and faeces on soil ecology.
2012 - 2017 PhD Laboratory of soil biodiversity, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Project: A molecular approach to microeukaryotic diversity, ecology and biogeography
associated with Sphagnum mosses
