My scientific background begins in the fundamental biology of lipids — their physical chemistry, membrane interactions, and roles in cellular signaling. I spent years investigating how lipids behave at the molecular level, how they mediate biological processes, and how disruptions in lipid biology connect to disease.
That foundation shapes how I approach lipidomics data. Most lipidomics consultants come from the analytical chemistry or data science side and learned the biology later. I come from the biology — and developed the analytical and computational expertise to work with large-scale LC-MS datasets, build QC frameworks, and integrate omics data layers.
My most recent work as a Research Associate at McMaster University involved large-scale LC-MS lipidomics on the ENANI-2019 cohort — a nationally representative pediatric study spanning over 5,000 samples and 26 analytical batches. That project required designing and validating QC pipelines capable of handling population-scale biological complexity.
I am also bilingual — working fluently in English and Portuguese — which allows me to serve clients and communicate science across the Canadian, American, and Brazilian markets with equal depth and cultural fluency.
