Degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) - Sorocaba campus. Developed Scientific Initiation research on the genotoxicity of the trace metal cadmium in tissues of neotropical bees of the Bombus atratus species at the Laboratory of Structural and Functional Biology (LABEF). He is currently a student in the Post-Graduate Program in Biotechnology and Environmental Monitoring and is studying the effects of plastic microparticles associated with the trace metal chromium in internal organs of forager workers of Bombus atratus. He is interested in the areas of Terrestrial Ecotoxicology, Histology, Cell Biology and Microplastics. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Classified as emerging pollutants, microplastics (MPs) pose a potential ecotoxicological risk to aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Because they are a ubiquitous and persistent contaminant, MPs are easily found incorporated in soils, sediments and water bodies. MPs can sorb trace metals and/or present them in their formulation, as is the case with chromium (Cr); extremely toxic element in…
Cadmium (Cd) is a trace metal with high genotoxic potential; can be found as a component of a wide variety of industrialized products, including agrochemicals, both potentiating deleterious effects on non-target entomofauna; especially bees. Thus, to evaluate the genotoxicity of this metal in neotropical bees, bioassays will be performed with workers of the Bombus atratus species. The bee…
