She has worked in various research topics within the areas of surveillance and molecular epidemiology of different viruses such as Ebola, Zika, yellow fever, dengue, Chikungunya and other arboviruses. She is particularly interested in methods of phylogenetic analysis that combine genomic, spatial and ecological information. She is currently a Post Doctoral Researcher working with the ZiBRA project (Zika in Brazil real-time analysis, www.zibraproject.org) in the Reference Laboratory of Flavivirus at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a project that aims to improve genomic surveillance of emergent and re-emergent RNA viruses circulating in Brazil. Her research focuses on generating complete genomes in real-time using nanopore sequencing technology, and to analyze large datasets of genetic data to gain insights into the origins and mode of spread of key viral pathogens with significant public health impact.
