Micaela Oliveira

In addition to my microbiological focus, I previously worked for four years at a molecular diagnostics company specializing in rare genetic diseases, where I had the opportunity to apply my knowledge of Molecular Biology and Genomics to the field of Human Genetics. My current research is driven by three overarching objectives: (1) To improve molecular diagnostic techniques for the swift detection of emerging biological hazards; (2) To enhance genomic methods to strengthen biosecurity and outbreak management; (3) To investigate microbial communities in various environments to support public health strategies.
