Universidade do Vale do Paraíba (UNIVAP). Instituto de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (IP&D) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Professor and Doctor at the University of Vale do Paraíba (UNIVAP). Holds a Bachelor's and licenciature degree in Biological Sciences from the State University of Londrina (UEL) (1995), a Master's degree (1999), and a PhD (2004) in Biological Sciences with a focus on Genetics by UNESP, Botucatu, São Paulo. Completed postdoctoral research at UNESP and the AC Camargo Cancer Center (2008). Currently, he is the coordinator of the Molecular Genetics Laboratory - GeneLab, part of the Institute for Research and Development - Univap. Coordinated the Graduate Program in Biological Sciences (2014-2017) and in Biomedical Engineering (2020-2023). Coordinated and continues to lead projects as Principal Investigator for the FAPESP funding agency and works as an ad hoc consultant for the FAPESP and CNPq funding agencies. Has expertise in Genetics, with an emphasis on Cancer Molecular Biology and multifactorial disorders related to metabolism, focusing mainly on the following areas: gene expression, genetic alterations, genetic polymorphisms, molecular biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis, predisposition to multifactorial disorders, and molecular biology associated with optical spectroscopy techniques.

Multifactorial disorders (MD) belong to the most common class of genetic diseases and are the result of complex interactions between several genetic variants, environmental exposures and possible spontaneous events. In recent years, many studies have linked genetic susceptibility to the development of these disorders with the presence of specific polymorphisms in the genome, such as SNPs …
In Brazil, the INCA estimates for the year 2014 a total of 9.200 new cases of thyroid cancer, with an estimated risk of 30 cases per 100,000 women. Also according to the INCA during the last decades in most countries the incidence rates of this type of tumor showed a pattern of slow growth, but continuous (about 1% per year). The commonly used diagnostic thyroid cancer occurs from clinic…
Breast cancer is an extremely complex disease and clinically heterogeneous, characterized by very different prognoses among patients. The heterogeneity of these tumors is also evidenced by the large number of genes that are related to control of growth, death and differentiation. The main problem of such disorder is the recurrence rate after therapy, where more than half of affected patie…
The presence of certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to metabolic pathways has been linked to the development of multifactorial disorders, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity and cancer. Multifactorial disorders have high etiological complexity due to the interaction between environmental factors and multiple genetic variants, whose effects modulate…
Thyroid cancer is the neoplasm characterized as the most common to affect the endocrine system and the one that has grown the most in recent decades. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (CPT), and papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (MCPT) are the most prevalent and despite the good prognosis, in some cases, they can be aggressive and can cause lymph node involvement and distant metastases. The dia…
Thyroid cancer is the most common pathology affecting the endocrine system, and there has been an increase in the number of cases diagnosed in recent years. The MAP/KINASE signaling pathway has been well described as a diagnostic target for lesions affecting the gland due to genetic changes related to the development and progression of tumors. Diagnosis is obtained by the association of t…
Thyroid carcinomas are the most common endocrine malignancy, with a marked increase in incidence in recent years. It is now known that although there is progress in identifying molecular markers of diagnosis, it is still particularly difficult to determine with complete accuracy the diagnosis of a nodule by the molecular method. The WNT pathway is involved in several neoplasms but the det…
