What I'm looking for

I seek senior R&D or academic roles combining molecular modeling, in silico drug discovery and teaching—collaborative teams and opportunities to lead translational projects.

I am a biochemist and senior research scientist with a Ph.D. and multiple postdoctoral appointments, focused on molecular modeling, bioinformatics and in silico drug discovery. I have published on neuropsin, disintegrins, antiplatelet agents and antiparasitic chalcones and routinely apply docking and proteomics to translational research.

Currently I lead research and development as Diretor Científico at a biotech aesthetics company while teaching and coordinating projects at federal universities. I seek to develop new therapeutic and cosmetic molecules through interdisciplinary collaboration, mentorship and project leadership.
