Maria Carolina Blassioli Moraes earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical technology from the University of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil (1995), followed by a master’s degree in chemistry from the University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (1997), and a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the same institution (2001). She completed two post-doctoral research fellowships: the first in 2002 at the Centre for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture (CENA/USP) and the second in 2005 at Rothamsted Research (UK). She joined Embrapa Genetic Resources and Biotechnology (CENARGEN, Brasília) in 2002 as a research scientist in the Chemical Ecology group. Dr. Blassioli Moraes has been a member of the International Society of Chemical Ecology (ISCE) since 2005 and also serves as a scientific adviser for the Latin American Association of Chemical Ecology (ALAEQ), demonstrating her commitment to advancing chemical ecology in Latin America. Additionally, she mentors Master’s and Ph.D. students from prestigious Brazilian universities, covering key research areas such as the chemical characterisation of volatile molecules, insect behaviour, pheromones of insects, the development of analytical methods for studying semiochemicals, and formulation of semiochemicals for field applications.
