Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Faculdade de Ciências Médicas (FCM) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Full Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil, with activities spanning teaching, research, innovation, and outreach. He earned his MD degree from the Federal University of Paraná (1989), his PhD from McGill University, Canada (2000), with the thesis Static and Dynamic Properties of Epileptogenic Lesions, which was included in the Deans Honour List, and obtained his Habilitation (Livre-Docência) from the School of Medical Sciences at UNICAMP in 2005. He received specialized training in neurology, neurophysiology, and neuroimaging at internationally renowned institutions, including the Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery of Havana, the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (Queen Square, London), and the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital.His research activities focus on epilepsy, stroke, neuroimaging, translational neuroscience, artificial intelligence in healthcare, health innovation, and healthcare management. He has authored more than 200 scientific publications in national and international journals and coordinates collaborative national and international projects in precision medicine, digital health, and neurotechnology.He is the founding President of ASPE (Assistance for Patients with Epilepsy), the organization responsible for implementing in Brazil the WHO Demonstration Project under the Global Campaign Against Epilepsy. In 2013, he was appointed Ambassador for Epilepsy by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE). He established the Stroke Care Program at UNICAMP and contributed to the creation of a regional stroke care network in Campinas, Brazil.He served as Coordinator of Scientific Dissemination for the FAPESP-funded programs CInAPCe (Interinstitutional Cooperation for Brain Research) and BRAINN (Brazilian Institute of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology). His current research and innovation activities focus on the integration of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, technological innovation, and public health.In the field of management, he holds a specialization in Hospital Administration from UNICAMP and a Bachelors degree in Business Administration from the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC-Campinas). He is also UNICAMPs representative in the Educational Network of the Lean Advancement Initiative at MIT and leads the Research Group on Innovation and Health Management at UNICAMP.He currently serves as Innovation Coordinator at the Research, Development and Innovation Center of Ibrachina Ibrawork, located at the UNICAMP Science and Technology Park, and as Vice President for Programs and Projects of the Campinas Forum for Innovation and Sustainability (FISC). In these roles, he promotes initiatives that connect science, innovation, sustainable development, artificial intelligence, and international cooperation to address global challenges in health and human development.

The central biological questions of our RIDC is the investigation of basic mechanisms that lead to epilepsy and stroke and the injury mechanisms that follow the disease onset and progression, and are related to prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Our goals are to develop new methods and techniques to improve the understanding of mechanisms of damage, plasticity and repair in epileps…
O VI Workshop CInAPCe é um evento do Programa CInAPCe (Cooperação Interinstitucional de Apoio à Pesquisa sobre o Cérebro) que tem o objetivo de congregar os profissionais dos centros participantes envolvidos com o Programa para discutir os resultados obtidos até o momento e traçar os próximos passos do programa. Neste contexto, é importante ressaltar que o Programa CInAPCe é um dos progra…
É difícil imaginar uma condição neurológica que tenha colaborado mais para o entendimento das funções cerebrais do que a epilepsia. Costuma-se dizer que ela é uma das mais generosas janelas para se espiar o cérebro. Porém, este conhecimento não poderia mesmo ficar restrito aos livros e periódicos acadêmicos e científicos. Toda essa riqueza chega à comunidade leiga em linguagem acessível g…

Ischemic stroke is a disease with a high incidence rate, both in the industrialized and non-industrialized worlds, being responsible for high morbidity and mortality among its victims, predominantly in the elderly age group. After the occurrence of the event, however, it has been shown by previous studies that the nervous system acts to reorganize itself to compensate for the functions af…
Stroke is the leading cause of functional disability in adults. Among the most compromising functional consequences for the post-stroke patient, the muscular weakness of a hemicorp is the most prevalent, affecting upper and lower limb function contralateral to the brain injury. Neuroimaging studies have shown that post-stroke patients with motor symptoms have, in addition to a decrease in…
Introduction: Epilepsy imposes a great psychosocial burden not only on the patient but also on the family and society. Often, people with epilepsy do not reveal the diagnosis, since sharing about their condition can lead to discrimination and social isolation. Stigma, as defined by Goffman, is "the situation of the individual who is disqualified from full social acceptance," related to th…

The history of exercise science over the second half of the twentieth century is filled with spectacular triumphs but also some epic failures. The successes consist in discovering a wealth of scientific evidence supporting the beneficial effects of physical activity on health and raising the awareness not only of the medical community but also of the public at large. The failures are the …
Currently, chronic diseases are major public health challenges. Stroke is an example and ranks as the leading cause of death in Brazil and the leading cause of physical, cognitive and social disability acquired in adult life in the world. In 2012, the Ministry of Health approved the Healthcare Plan for Stroke. However, investments without adequate local management plan, without articulati…
