Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas (ICB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) and PhD in Biotechnology from the University of São Paulo (USP). Has experience in the field of Cancer with an emphasis on Molecular Biology, working mainly with next generation sequencing (NGS) to identify mutations responsible for Genetic Syndromes related to deficiencies in DNA repair. The main focus is Molecular Diagnosis. Highly committed to building an empathetic way of providing information and knowledge to the patients. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Deficiencies in nucleotide excision repair lead to human disorders where patients display photosensitivity and/or neurological problems, such as xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), cockayne syndrome (CS) and trichothiodystrophy (TTD). Case reports and genotypic descriptions of patients have been published worldwide, mainly in North America, Europe, Africa and Japan. The follow up of these patient…
This project aims to determine the genetic mutations and their effects on cells from patients clinically diagnosed with Xeroderma Pigmentosum Variant (XP-V) in Brazil. During the masters degree this study aimed to characterize genotypically XP-V patients in the community located at Faina, Goiás. Two mutations (exchange basis) were found in the XPV gene: one of them is located in a splicin…
Human genetic syndromes deficient in the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) pathway are known to display photosensitivity and neurological problems, such as xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). In Brazil, a few case-reports had described patients with these phenotypes, but genetic and molecular characterization data are scarce. In the current post-doc project, we are identifying mutations from Brazi…
