Statement of Research Interests

Insects have always attracted me due to their diversity, medical importance of some

groups, and the array of different study subjects and knowledge that can be obtained by

studying them. I have been studying vector insects since my college years. As part of

these ten years dedicated, mainly to phlebotomine sand flies, I was able to learn different

techniques and methods to capture, identify, obtain, organize and interpret data related to

the insect behavior and its correlation with the environment and vectoral capacity.

During this time, I had the opportunity to familiarize myself with many diverse

biomes, such as: Atlantic forest, Amazon and Brazilian savanna, fact that allowed me to

capture insects with different kinds of traps and environmental situations. Although my

expertise is taxonomy, being in different projects gave me the opportunity to work with a

variety of techniques as morphology, classical and geometric morphometry, scanning

electron microscopy, molecular biology, and analyses and programs used to assess

biological and environmental data such as: Graphpad Prism, IBM SPSS and QGis.

My academic background was held in institutions recognized worldwide by their

research in vector-borne diseases as the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation and the São Paulo

University. This allowed me to learn from researches of great knowledge in the area, fact

that made possible for me to learn about different groups of insect vectors other than sand

flies. Working in such important institutions also enable me to teach in a variety of courses

of college, specialization and graduate school levels organized by the Oswaldo Cruz

Foundation, University of São Paulo, and other Universities in Brazil, and train several

health professionals from Brazilian States, as well as from other Latin American countries

in courses organized by the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the Pan American Health

Organization.

As post-doctoral researcher I wish to continue learning new tools, techniques,

familiarize myself other biomes, and insect groups to consolidate my training as a medical

entomologist, and to contribute to increase the knowledge on these insects and strategies

to prevent and control vector-borne diseases.
