Werner obtained his DVM degree from ULBRA (Universidade Luterana Brasil) in 2009. In 2012, he completed a master's project in animal pathophysiology focusing on stem progenitors' cells. He earned his PhD from UFSM (Universidade Federal de Santa Maria) in 2016, where his research involved in vitro cell reprogramming using oocyte protein modulators and epigenetic mechanisms, particularly characterizing the expression patterns of epigenetic regulators in porcine oocytes and their developmental capacity. He initiated his postdoctoral training at McGill University in 2022, working on characterizing important histone demethylases related to embryo development and fertilized nuclear transfer derived embryos. In February 2023, he joined the Department of Animal Science as an Assistant Professor (Research) focusing on applied embryology and gene editing in large animals and non-human primate models within the biomedical field. His research interests include understanding epigenetic regulation during genome activation in porcine and non-human primate models, investigating the role of miRNAs in embryo development, and exploring gene and epigenome editing tools to produce animal models for studying developmental pathophysiology mechanisms.
