Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto (FMRP) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Full Professor at Pharmacology Department of Ribeirão Preto Medical School (University of São Paulo, FMRP - USP). He has experience in Immunopharmacology, focusing on inflammatory diseases, working primarily in sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, tisular lesion mechanisms, leukocytes migration, innate immune response. He is a member of The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC) and The Academy of Sciences of the State of São Paulo (Aciesp). He is also a member of Brazilian Society for Immunology (SBI), Brazilian Society of Pharmacology (SBFTE) and Brazilian Society of Inflammation. He currently coordinates CRID - Center of Research in Inflammatory Diseases. Ad hoc consultant to the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), of The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and of CAPES Foundation. He published more than 600 papers in international journals, which received more than 50,000 citations, ensuring an h-index of 92 (Scopus) (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This project aims to consolidate and expand the collaboration between the Medical Faculty of Ribeirao Preto, University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, and the Institute of Innate Immunity, University of Bonn, Germany. The project focuses on the role of Gasdermin D(GSDMD) and its potential as a therapeutic target in models of sepsis and COVID-19. We propose an exchange of faculty, postdoctora…
Inflammatory diseases are a complex and heterogeneous group of diseases that affect more than 10% of the word population. The current options for the treatment of these diseases are still limited and, in some cases, inefficient due to limited understanding of the mechanisms underlying these diseases. The development of translational research by a center that can generate scientific knowle…
The purpose of the Single Cell Genetic Analysis Laboratory (AGCU) is to characterize genetic heterogeneity at the genomic scale of special cells. FMRP's research desk hours from other Campus units can be accessed privately and with availability from private institutions. Also, teaching functions, dependency training, academic and technical training. (AU)

The disease caused by coronavirus in 2019 (Covid-19) is caused by coronavirus-2 of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) and has become an important health problem worldwide. The pulmonary changes observed in patients with Covid-19 are characterized by intense damage to epithelial and endothelial cells, viral replication in pulmonary tissue and extensive inflammatory process char…
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory systemic disease that affects joints. There is a similarity between pathways that induce tissue destruction in RA and Periodontal Disease (PD), a chronic inflammatory condition that affect tooth surrounding structures. One of mechanisms that link RA and PD evolve dysbiosis of oral microbiome, which is partially reversed after treatment with syn…

Inflammatory diseases are a complex and heterogeneous group of diseases, which are a major cause of morbidity and mortality and an important socioeconomic problem. Despite recent scientific and technological advances, the current treatment options for inflammatory diseases are still limited and, in some cases, inefficient. The mission of the Center of Research in Inflammatory Diseases (CR…

Neutrophils are the most abundant leukocytes in the human circulatory system and, therefore, are essential for the first line of defense against infectious agents and contribute to the inflammatory response. To achieve this, neutrophils can act through degranulation, phagocytosis or release of extracellular networks (NETs). NETs are traps formed by DNA and proteins from these neutrophils …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that affects 0.5 to 1% of adult world population, and it is characterized by bone loss. Osteoblasts are bone cells that synthetize bone matrix and stimulate osteoclasts, that degrade which in turn degrade matrix, though the release of the receptor activator of nuclear factor ºB ligand (RANKL), that interacts with its receptor (RANK) on th…
Although primary resistance to anti-PD1/PD-L1 inhibitors is a common clinical event, the biological pathways underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Currently, the potential correlation between the tumor glycolytic metabolism reprogramming, known as Warburg effect, and primary resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains unknown. We propose that tumors with high glyco…
Sepsis is a life-threatening multi-organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Sepsis-surviving patients commonly develop a late immunosuppression which is associated with increased susceptibility to secondary infections. The mechanisms involved in this immunosuppressive state include increased IL-33 production in the lung tissue homogenates and bronchial lavage…
