PhD, MSc Genetics & Mol Biology | Postdoc Bioinformatician @ Baker
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Systems Medicine and Bioinformatics Laboratory at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne. I am also an affiliate postdoctoral fellow with the Méric Lab at the University of Bath (UK) and the Marques Laboratory at Monash University. I study how the gut microbiome, genetics and lipid metabolism interact in cardiometabolic disease.

Biography
Biography
I grew up in Brazil and began studying Biotechnology at the Federal University of Paraná in 2012, joining a microbiology laboratory in my first months. I completed an MSc (2017) and PhD (2021) in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, where I shifted into computational biology and bacterial genomics.

From 2019 to 2022, I co-founded and co-led Agrega Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento em Biotecnologia, developing genomics and metagenomics workflows and securing competitive innovation grants. In 2022, I moved to New York for a postdoctoral fellowship at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

I joined the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne in 2023 to study the human microbiome and its links to health in large population cohorts. Since 2026, I have worked in Baker’s Systems Medicine and Bioinformatics Laboratory, broadening my research into lipidomics and other molecular approaches to identify markers of future cardiovascular disease, with a particular focus on people living with type 2 diabetes.

I hold honorary appointments at the University of Melbourne, Monash University and La Trobe University in Australia, the University of Bath in the UK, and the University of Turku in Finland. I also maintain research collaborations in Brazil, Sweden and Austria.
