I am an ecologist who dedicated most of the academic life to study analytical biogeochemistry in lakes and sediments. After my PhD I pursued different pathways, but life brought me back to the Technical University of Munich as a scientific project manager.

I am a postdoc in pancreatic cancer/ pancreatitis research at the Klinikum Rechts der Isar, TUM. I have followed the path of science for a long time, but just recently discovered the benefits of combining it with a refreshing pint! I figured working towards this goal would be a cool achievement!

I’m a Brazilian PhD student at Gene Center (LMU) and my work involves the characterization of jumping genes in a context of neurodegenerative diseases. But better than be in the lab is talk and discuss science with a cold pint on hand!

After studying engineering and a brief stint as teacher, I am writing my thesis in physics at the Max Planck Institute. I've loved science since I was little and beer (officially) since it was legal for me to drink. In my free time, I also help organise the Philosophia Munich.
