Biologist José Henrique Oliveira, an alumnus of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, holds a master’s and a Ph.D. in biological chemistry from the same institution. He completed a post-doc fellowship at Stanford University. His research project focuses on understanding how the mosquito, the vector for dengue, gets infected in the first place.
Currently serving as a lecturer at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, José Henrique is an early riser. His daily routine begins with a refreshing swim in the sea, accompanied by the sight of the sun rising over the coast of Santa Catarina. This invigorating start to his day sets the tone for his ongoing exploration of the intricacies of the dengue mosquito.
