INTERESTS IN RESEARCH
Population Genetics
Evaluate the evolutionary potential of neotropical fishes from Brazil, determining the levels of genetic variation, gene flow, effective population size, bottleneck and genetic structure.
1998 - 2004
Federal University of Ceará - UFC
Bachelor in Fishing Engineering (Engenharia de Pesca)
Transcriptome
Identify candidate genes in fish species subject to environmental challenges and human actions. One focus would be to identify genes sexual at the species studied.
Environmental DNA
Apply the method of environmental DNA in the determination of biodiversity in lakes, rivers, streams and oceans. eDNA is a new method that can be applied to aid in the monitoring, management and conservation of aquatic resources.
