About
Summary
I am researcher and since 2003 I have worked in Health Science. After my PhD and training, my main activities are: isolation and identification of mycobacteria (diagnosis), development of research projects, and advisor of student’s projects. I am a methodical and diligent professional. I am interested in improving new tools for diagnosis, epidemiology and research of mycobacteriology.
