I am an Assistant Professor/Swine Health Extension Specialist at the Department of Animal Sciences and Center for Food Animal Health. I hold a PhD degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Minnesota (2019), a MS in Animal Pathology (2015) and a DVM (2012) from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, located in Brazil, country where I was born and raised.
I have work experience with diagnosis of animal diseases, with focus on swine infectious diseases and autogenous vaccines. I also worked as an assistant professor at the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora for veterinary pathology and poultry diseases, as lecturer for large animal histology at the Faculdade Serra Dourada, as teaching assistant for agents of diseases at the University of Minnesota, and as temporary lecturer for veterinary anatomy at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.
My research has been developed with focus on swine, ranging from basic science such as pathogenesis of intestinal infectious agents, specially Lawsonia intracellularis, to epidemiological aspects of swine infectious diseases and field applied research, such as development of diagnostic tools for endemic and emerging swine infectious diseases.
