I’m a pharmacist in the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro – UFRJ in Macaé (2021). I worked as an undergraduate student with Dr. Rodrigo Nunes da Fonseca as my advisor since early 2018. During that time I’ve studied regeneration in Tribolium castaneum larval leg, searching for a putative role of a specific transcription factor called zelda in this process. I am a pre-graduate student performing experiments to publish my results and enter graduate school.
