I am a researcher, ornithologist and biologist. I hold a Master's degree in Biology from the University of Warsaw, Poland, a Ph.D. and two postdoctoral degrees in Experimental Epidemiology Applied to Zoonoses from the University of São Paulo, Brazil.
I have experience in parasitology, molecular biology, ecology, and epidemiology related to emerging diseases and environmental changes. Since 2014, I have been a public health researcher at the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC), Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ), in Rio de Janeiro. I worked in the Hantavirus and Rickettsioses Laboratory (2014-2019) and have been working in the Respiratory Viruses, Exanthematous Viruses, Enteroviruses, and Viral Emergencies Laboratory since 2019, focusing on animal-origin viruses.
