Biography
I Graduated in Pharmacy in 2001 and obtained my PhD in 2007 working on the synthesis of natural products. After obtaining my PhD I moved to the Pharmochemical Industry to work on the P&D department in nucleoside chemistry, searching for new synthetic strategies for the synthesis of clinically important nucleosides. In 2011 I Joined the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and an assistant Professor. In 2011 I went to the University Of Cergy-Pontoise, France, as an Invited Professor to work on Nucleosides against HCV. My research interests are Biocatalysis, Nucleoside and Carbohydrate Chemistry. In 2012 the interest on carbohydrate chemistry led me to work with Lignocellulosic Biomass, in a project with the aim to transform it, in order to allow its introduction into the FCC Unit for the synthesis of green hydrocarbons.
