RESEARCH INTEREST

My research interests include the areas of Biochemistry, Toxicology and Pharmacology of

natural products or derived products as an alternative approach in the treatment of

neurological disorders. I have experience in the role of oxidative stress in experimental

pathologies as well as bibliometric analyses, which is an efficient tool for assessing,

measuring and comparing the performance/productivity of scientists, entire institutions,

departments, countries, etc. As, I concluded my Ph.D. in 2013, I am willing to work as a

Postdoctoral Research Fellow on related fields or to adapt in other field of Biological

Sciences. If there is any opportunity in your laboratory, please, inform me.

GRANTS

December 2009: Award of the TWAS-CNPq Postgraduate (Doctoral) Fellowship.

December 2013: Award of the Africa-German Network of Excellence in Science (AGNES)

Grant for Junior Researchers 2013 – supported by Alexander von Humboldt

Foundation (AvH) and The World Academy of Sciences for the Developing

Countries (TWAS).
