Researcher in the field of Psychiatric Genetics. Graduated in Biomedical Science, Master's and PhD in Human and Medical Genetics from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) with internship at the University of Pennsylvania (USA), Post-Doctorate by Department of Psychiatry at UNIFESP and Associate Professor at the Department of Morphology and Genetics at UNIFESP. She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Morphology and Genetics at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) and leads a research group on Genetics Applied to Mental Disorders. She currently coordinates the Laboratory of Integrative Neuroscience (LINC) at UNIFESP and coordinates the Genetics and Biorepository Area of the National Institute of Developmental Psychiatry (INPD). She is the Latin American representative on the schizophrenia group of the PGC (Psychiartic Genomics Consortium) and coordinates the schizophrenia working group within the LAGC (Latin America Genomics Consortium). He has focused on investigating the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders, showing direct applications to the field of mental health. It has been analyzing large-scale genetic and epigenetic data from patients with schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and other mental illnesses to identify the supposed genetic factors that underlie mental disorders and their symptoms/dimensions in children and adults. Her goal is to find genetic markers, methylation and gene expression profiles that can predict the disease as early as possible and provide more information on the response to treatment. She has extensive experience in human genetics, further applied to mental health and is particularly interested in finding markers, understanding pathophysiology, progression and response to treatment, as well as how trauma and adverse life experiences interact with the genome, transcriptome and epigenome.
