I have more than 12 years of experience in 3D imaging of cells and tissues through Electron Microscopy (tomography), Confocal Microscopy and Light Microscopy. My works were published on high impact scientific journals in Cellular Biology, Immunology, microbiology, and pathology. I have participated of the Cell Biology Group from Rossana’s Lab (focused on ImmunoEM) as a volunteer post-doc working on allergic, inflammatory, and infectious diseases (Dengue and H1N1) projects.
I earned knowledge about Cryo-EM and Tomography through Microscopy Center of UFMG training (Brazil). My goal is to explore cells and tissue through Advanced Microscopy Techniques, including Cryo-Electron Microscopy, to provide understanding about the organelles and proteins. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at Thomas Wollert’s Lab/ Institut Pasteur working on membrane nucleation during phagophore expansion, applying both 3D imaging and cryo-microscopy techniques..
