PhD in Sciences from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the State University of Campinas (FCF - UNICAMP), with a degree in Biological Sciences (UNICAMP) and a technical background in Biochemistry (Etec Conselheiro Antônio Prado - ETECAP). Author of the thesis "Characterization of functional effects of point mutations in NEK1 detected in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis on mitochondria and DNA damage response." During undergraduate studies, gained extensive experience in the field of Immunology, focusing on immunotherapy with dendritic cells in an experimental model of multiple sclerosis, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Proficient in cell culture and molecular biology techniques (CRISPR-Cas9, PCR, Western Blot, immunoprecipitation, etc). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The members of NIMA related kinases (NEK) family were identified as important cell cycle checkpoint regulators, especially at G2 to M transition. Despite been one of the less studied kinase families, recent data showed that they might have crucial role in mitosis, centriole separation and signaling pathway for DNA damage. Those features together with the fact that several members of the f…
Dendritic cells (DCs) are capable to direct the immune response towards an inflammatory or anti-inflammatory context, depending on its maturation/activation status. Immature DCs have the ability to generate regulatory T cells while mature/activated DCs express high levels of the major histocompatibility complex molecules together with co-stimulatory signals that drive T cells towards an i…
NEK1 has pleiotropic functions and mutations of its gene have been reported in cancer and ciliopathies, such as polycystic kidney disease (PKD), besides some genetic diseases such as Mohr syndrome and short-rib thoracic dysplasia (SRTD). Recent studies demonstrate that loss-of-function mutations of NEK1 are related to familial ALS, however, how those mutations contribute to development of…
