Junior Researcher in Experimental Pharmacology

I am a PhD student in Health Sciences at the Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM), Brazil, specializing in biochemistry and pharmacology. I hold a Master’s degree focused on the hepatoprotective activities of plant extracts, including Carica papaya, as well as a Bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and genetics. My academic background has provided me with a strong foundation in molecular biology, toxicology, and experimental pharmacology. I have developed practical experience in laboratory techniques, including bioassays, phytochemical analysis, and the evaluation of biological activities of natural compounds. My research work has focused on understanding the mechanisms by which plant-derived substances exert protective effects, particularly in the context of liver damage. My current research interests lie in natural product-based drug discovery, with an emphasis on elucidating molecular mechanisms of toxicity and protection. I am also deeply interested in the integration of computational tools, including artificial intelligence and in silico approaches, to accelerate the identification and optimization of bioactive compounds. Through my research, I aim to contribute to the development of innovative, accessible, and effective therapeutic strategies, particularly plant-based treatments targeting liver and neurological diseases. I am actively seeking international research collaborations and scholarship opportunities to further expand my expertise and contribute to global scientific advancement.
