It has experience in the fields of Natural Products Chemistry and Chemical Ecology. The research focuses on the following topics: Chemical and metabolomical studies of hops and beer production processes; ecological plant-insect interactions; metabolomic studies of plants, insects and their eco-chemical interactions interface; phytochemical and eco-physiological variability of secondary metabolites of Asteraceae species and Orchidaceae. He is a professor of Organic Chemistry Area disciplines in the Department of Physics and Chemistry of FCFRP-USP since 2009. She graduated in Pharmacy and Biochemistry, FCFRP-USP (1999), master's (2002) and doctorate (2007) in Pharmaceutical Sciences FCFRP USP. Between 2007 and 2008 he conducted post-doctorate in the Department of Biology of FFCLRP-USP, studying neuroactive small molecules of venoms of invertebrates. In 2009 he conducted post-doctorate in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences FCFRP-USP employing cheminformatics tools and analytical methodologies in dereplication of herbal extracts. Between 2011 and 2012 he held a post-doctorate in the Department of Chemical Ecology of the University of Bielefeld (Germany), where he studied the chemical ecology of invasive plants using metabolomics tools.

Hops contribute several attributes to the beer, among them bitterness, flavor and aroma. Different varietals of this species produce different profiles of secondary metabolites, giving diverse aromas, flavors and bitterness in beer. Different strains of yeast also contribute to different metabolites for beer, complementing the aromas and flavors introduced by hopping. In addition, brewer'…
Interactions between plants and insects are the most common type of plant-herbivore interactions and they shape community dynamics and ecosystem evolution. Recently, metabolomics analysis associated with chemical ecology are gaining importance, highlighting the potential of ecometabolomics in the study of plant-insect interactions. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the ecoch…
The Asteraceae are one of the largest family of plants, represeting about 10% of world's flora; it is caracterized by ability to produce secondary metabolites with high structural diversity. Within the Asteraceae stand out the tribe Vernonieae. The Vernonieae are a pantropical tribe and most of the species are assembled in the large genus Vernonia (sensu Baker). It is distributed widely i…
Orchidaceae is the largest family between monocots and represents one of the largest families of flowering plants with an estimated 12 to 35 000 species number. The taxonomic complexity of one of the genus of this family, Catasetum, has attracted much interest from growers and researchers in Orchidaceae, especially due to new taxa being discovered in the genus. Aiming to assist in improvi…

Insects are one of the most abundant organisms on Earth, and they play fundamental roles in community dynamics and ecosystem evolution. Studying plant-insect interactions have provided valuable information into ecological and evolutionary systems, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary research. Recent studies have shown that the insect immune response and its microbiome have be…
