PrintRafael Duarte is a biochemist with a master’s degree in Applied Microbiology and a first year student of the PhD in Biotechnology. With work developed on the molecular and physiological responses of legumes species to climate change (elevated [CO2]) he is now focused on the functional diversity of plant secondary metabolites, such as polyphenols and lectins, and its impact on either gut and soil microbiome. Published 1 book chapter and 2 scientific communication in symposiums.
