PhD with research on plant molecular genomic and a minor degree in Applied Statistics.. I have experience on the utilization of modern bioinformatic procedures and scripting on a HPC environment for genome & transcriptome assembly, annotation of sequences, handling and analysis of NGS datasets (Illumina and PacBio). I am a molecular biologist with experience on gene expression studies (microarray, RNA-seq), genotyping (SSR and SNP, GBS) and recombinant DNA technology with emphasis to the characterization of biodiversity and breeding of crops. I am interested on combining omics and bioinformatic approaches to plant and animal breeding, molecular diagnostics of diseases of importance for humans (cancer, cardiovascular diseases) and metagenomics studies (microbiomes associated to plants, animals and humans). I am interested in developing biotechnological products from R&D.
