Biography
During my Master’s and Ph.D. training, I worked mainly with the molecular epidemiology of norovirus with samples collected from children and immunocompromised patients (2014-2021). During the COVID-19 pandemic, I worked in a multi-center collaboration to perform the evolutionary and epidemiological track of the SARS-CoV-2 variants in Goias, Brazil. In January 2022, I began my postdoctoral fellowship at the Quantitative Virology and Evolution Unit at NIAID under the supervision of Dr. Patrick Dolan, where I am focusing on the study of the within-host evolution and pathogenesis of enteroviruses and other RNA viruses.
