Dr. Joaquim Albenisio Gomes Silveira
Full Professor - Universidade Federal do Ceará
CNPq Productivity Researcher - Level 1A
Prof. Albenisio works with Plant Physiology, with emphasis on the efficiency of photosynthesis mediated by redox metabolism, photorespiration and N assimilation under abiotic stress conditions. He holds a PhD from USP and Senior Post-doc (2015) at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Plant Stress at ITQB, Universidade Nova de Lisboa - Portugal. He was one of the founders of the Brazilian Society of Plant Physiology, President of the Organizing Committee of the II Brazilian Congress of Plant Physiology and elected the 2nd. President of SBFV. He participated in the creation of the Brazlian Journal of Plant Physiology (1989), currently Theoretical and Experimental Plant Physiology (Springer, IF 2016 = 1.5). He is Associate Editor of Environmental and Experimental Botany (Elsevier FI 2016 = 3.7) and reviewer of several foreign journals. He has published more than 150 articles (index H = 39 H = 31 in the last 5 years on Google Scholar), in international journals with JCR and has more than 4000 citations. He trained 28 PhDs, 35 masters, and supervised 10 PhDs. Professor of the discipline "Plant Physiology" and in the Graduate (master's and doctorate) "Integrated Mechanisms for Photosynthetic Efficiency", in addition to some Special Topics in Plant Physiology. He is a full-professor at the Federal University of Ceará, Researcher 1A of CNPq and Vice-President of the Brazilian Society of Plant Physiology (2018-2020). He currently heads the Plant Metabolism Laboratory, with a team of 6 doctoral students, 2 master's students, 3 postdoctoral fellows and 2 scientific initiation fellows.
Dr. Danilo Meneses Daloso
Associate Professor - Universidade Federal do Ceará
CNPq Productivity Researcher - Level 2
Natural of Rancharia/SP, graduated in Biological Sciences from the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul - UEMS (2006). During graduation he developed works in the areas of recovery of degraded areas, ecophysiology of seed germination and morphophysiological responses of native plants to ultraviolet light stress or flooding. In the Masters, he developed his dissertation investigating the responses of the mutant gun4 of Arabidopsis thaliana to light stress. He developed a PhD in Plant Physiology by the Federal University of Viçosa-UFV (CAPES Concept 7), with a sandwich period at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology - MPIMP, Potsdam/ Golm-Germany, working on the following topics: Plant molecular physiology, guard cell metabolism, profile and metabolic flux via GC-TOF-MS. He performed post-doctoral studies at UFV and MPIMP investigating the metabolism of guard cells as well as the role of mitochondrial thioredoxins in the control of the enzymatic activity of the TCA cycle. He received the Jeff Schell Award for best work published in the MPIMP in 2015. Since 2016 he has been Adjunct Professor A of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Federal University of Ceará, Fortaleza. H = 14 factor in Google Scholar.
