I contributed to the most extensive analysis to date of the phylogeny of ZIKV in Brazil and have continued to be one of the leaders of the Zika in Brazil Real Time Analysis (ZIBRA) project with the general aim of to investigate the arboviruses genomic surveillance in Brazil. It is a mobile project of genomic mapping of ZIKV (and also CHIKV, DENV, YFV, OROV, MAYV) throughout the Brazilian states that started in 2016. My career began and still continue with extensive experience in Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics of human retroviruses (HIV and HTLV), acting on the following topics: molecular epidemiology and evolution, gene polymorphisms in the host, clinical and epidemiological correlations, development of new bioinformatics tools.
