Position
  • Former Graduate Student
I graduated from the Interdepartmenal Genetics and Genomics program in 2020. I was a Science Without Borders/LASPAU fellow from Brazil. I am interested in the phenotypic responses to environmental insult, such as exposure to toxins, and the effect that they have on DNA methylation and gene expression.
