Adriane De Melo

I am a researcher from Brazil; graduated in Veterinary at Federal University of Goias (UFG-Jatai) – Brazil – 2004; Master degree in Food Science and Technology at Federal University of Goias (UFG-Goiania) – Brazil – 2009; and obtained the PhD in Food Science at University of Sao Paulo – Brazil – in 2015. During my PhD – I opted to study bee products not only because of their therapeutic potential – but also to encourage apiculture and – consequently – to contribute to the preservation of bees and several plants that depend on them as pollinators. I have also been investigating alternatives that contribute to sustainable development. In the last 5 years – I have collaborated on nine studies already published and one accepted for publication in peer-reviewed Journals; two book chapters; and twelve abstracts presented in scientific meetings – nine of which were published in Books of Abstracts. I am the first author of more than half of these productions. I have served as an examiner for Masters theses and graduation monographs; and I have also contributed as volunteer professor – lecturer in scientific meetings – and reviewer of eight peer-reviewed Journals. I have disseminated results in radio – TV and websites – something that I consider especially important. My research interests focus on the nutritional value and biological potential of bee products. I am looking for postdocs at research institutes – or opportunities as a research scientist. I am extremely motivated and I want to expand my horizons to other institutions of recognized excellence.
