Biologist, MSc. in Experimental Pathology, and Ph.D. in Science by the University of São Paulo / Brazil.
From Brazil, staying here from January 8th to March 8th, 2023.
Her domains of specialization are Biofilms, Infection Control, Microbiology and Molecular Biology, namely on understanding biofilm growth mechanisms and action of bacteriophages in order to face Healthcare-Associated Infections. As a biologist, she is deeply interested in the study of endotracheal tube associated-biofilm. During her study stay, she is investigating whether phage-therapy could remove biofilm on the surface of ex vivo endotracheal tubes
