Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus de Araraquara. Instituto de Química (IQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Student from the Pharmacy-Biochemistry course at the Paulista State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP). Started her life in research in the first year of graduation (2014) through scientific initiation in the Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Microorganisms in the institution itself. Initially, it developed its first research project funded by FAPESP "Study of the specificity and toxicity of the GC7 hipusination inhibitor using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae model", understanding possible transporters of this substance into the cellular interior of the model. Currently developing her second scientific initiation project, also funded by FAPESP, using the same model but now researching secondary metabolites of espinheira-santa, which were potential therapeutic agents against neoplasias, with the project "Study of the triterpene transporters in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae model ".

Secondary metabolites are produced by plants to perform protective functions, such as insecticides, antimicrobials and photoprotectors However, it was noted that some of these metabolites present therapeutic activity, such as morphine, obtained from Papaver somniferum, which was one of the first anesthetics discovered and it is still widely used. Among these metabolites, are highlighted t…
Several translation factor that act in different steps of translation are conserved through evolution. Among them, the putative eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A), is a small acid protein with 17KDa, highly conserved and essential from arqueas to eukaryotes. Despite its involvement with the initiation step of translation has never been described, eIF5A has been observed a…
