Gabriel has a master’s degree in Genetics and Molecular Biology from University of Campinas (Unicamp) and is currently concluding his Ph.D. by investigating the mechanisms of assembly and functioning of the plant microbiome at the Pluridisciplinary Center for Chemical, Biological and Agricultural Research (Centro Pluridisciplinar de Pesquisas Químicas, Biológicas e Agrícolas, CPQBA). He has developed strategies for the design and construction of microbial consortia based on genomic data and phenotypic traits. He has also participated in taxonomic characterization studies of the microbiome of soybean, maize and passionfruit. Furthermore, he has experience in systematics and bioprospecting of microorganisms associated with plants and soils, characterizing beneficial traits for agricultural systems.
