Birthplace: Brazil

I graduated in Biology from the University of São Paulo (USP) in Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP - USP) and completed my Master's and PhD degrees in the Cellular and Molecular Biology graduate program at the University of São Paulo (USP) School of Medicine. I have experience in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Virology, and Immunology. I am currently a Senior Researcher in the RD (Research, Development, and Innovation) team in the Biotechnology sector of the pharmaceutical industry. I work on the theoretical survey and development of various biological products, such as viral and recombinant vaccines, the development of immunotherapeutics based on immunogenic peptides, the scale-up of biological production in bioreactors, cross-flow filtration, and bioanalytical methodologies. In my research, I apply various aspects of quality applied to biological products (SOPs, quality deviations, risk analysis, protocol and report development), as well as the collection of information from patents and articles.

Abstract
The activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc) has its expression induced in neurons that exhibit high synaptic activity and is essential for the modulation of synaptic transmission. One of the effects of Arc in this process is to accelerate AMPA receptor (AMPAR) endocytosis in dendritic spines, downregulating the synaptic activity mediated by these receptors. Recently our r…

Abstract
The Arc (actin cytoskeleton-regulated) protein plays a crucial role in the modulation of glutamatergic synaptic transmission in neurons and controls synaptic plasticity mechanisms, which are essential for memory consolidation and learning. Forms of synaptic plasticity known as LTP (Long Term Potentiation) and LTD (Long Term Depression), involve the precise regulation of AMPA-type glutamat…
