Jader has a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Genetics and Bioinformatics from the University of Campinas (Unicamp). Developed his Ph.D. as a member of the Saccharome Project, a joint partnership between the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) and Unicamp, in which he performed his work on developing disruptive methods for the large-scale isolation and identification of microorganisms associated with plants, as well as tools for the investigation of the impact of microbial communities on plant responses to environmental stresses. At the Genomics for Climate Change Research Center (GCCRC), at Unicamp, he has overseen the creation of a pipeline for microbial culture collections and proof of concepts experiments for investigating the impact of beneficial microbes in plant physiology.
