Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a pharmacist currently working as a researcher, holding a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences and a master's degree in Polymer Science and Technology. I have experience in various analytical techniques such as PCR, electrophoresis, cytometry, UV/Vis spectroscopy, DLS analysis, and microscopy methods including SEM and TEM. Additionally, I have expertise in the physicochemical characterization of polymers using DSC, TGA, XRD, and FTIR.

At present, I am seeking employment as my fiancé has been working and living in Europe for the past 20 years. Therefore, I am looking for a position as a researcher in the fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology, or polymers.

I am a nanotechnology researcher at the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory of Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ) in Rio de Janeiro since July 2021. In this role, I lead nanotechnology projects, develop polymer- and lipid-based formulations, create polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering, and conduct experiments using various techniques including DSC, TGA, XRD, TEM/SEM microscopy, UV-vis, HPLC, DLS, Turbiscan, BET, PCR, electrophoresis, and Nanodrop. Previously, I was the Technical Responsible Pharmacist at RIOgaleão International Airport from January 2017 to December 2018, managing administrative routines, documentation control, and inspecting storage conditions of pharmaceuticals, among other duties. I also completed an internship in the Pharmacovigilance Sector at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) from June 2014 to April 2015, where I generated periodic reports, reconciled data, trained employees, and assisted in the development of pharmacovigilance campaigns. During my studies, I gained hands-on experience as a pharmacy student at Instituto de Puericultura e Pediatria Martagão Gesteira Hospital (IPPMG) from January 2013 to December 2013, performing pharmaceutical care, outpatient dispensing, prescription review, and handling various medications.

I hold a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), completed in 2024, with a major in Nanotechnology. In 2018, I completed a Postgraduate program in Clinical and Hospital Pharmacy at UNINTER in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Additionally, I obtained a Master’s degree in Polymer Science and Technology from the Instituto de Macromoléculas Professora Eloisa Mano (IMA/UFRJ) in 2017. My academic background also includes a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), earned in 2016.
