I graduated in medicine from the University of Mogi das Cruzes (1992). I have a master?s degree in surgery from the Institute of Medical Assistance for Health of the State Public (1999). I have a Ph.D. in surgical gastroenterology from the Federal University of Sao Paulo (2006). I did post-doctoral fellowships at the University of Coimbra (2010 and 2018). I was the coordinator of the Medical Course (2010) and the vice-coordinator of the Postgraduate Program in Health Sciences (2018) at São Francisco University. Currentely I am Cordinator of Health Science College Pitágoras from Codó, Medical School.I received more than 50 awards and authored or co-authored 69 papers in peer-reviewed journals. I participated as a member of 84 examining committees (Ph.D. and MSc committees and admission committees). I have peer-reviewed manuscripts for 25 journals. I have mentored undergraduate students (Scientific Initiation Projects), Ph.D. students and MSc students in Brazil. I have skills and competencies in people management, interpersonal communication, and oral and written expression. My areas of expertise are surgery, oncology, animal models of human disease, palliative care, and education. I am a highly collaborative worker and am committed to research and my students. My career experience includes writing projects, grants, and manuscripts; budget administration; experimental design of protocols; data analysis, and development of new curricula and their assessments. Currently, I am a member of the Brazilian College of Surgeons, and the European Association of Cancer Research. The value I bring is ethics and respect for human dignity in diverse learning contexts.

Angiogenesis is a term that describes blood vessels formation, a physiological process involved in growth and healing, which is also linked to the development of diseases, including cancer, its progression and metastasis development. Differently, tumor angiogenesis is characterized by the neovessels formation through the stimulation and proliferation of preexisting endothelial vessel cell…

The most commonly used therapy in colorectal cancer, which keeps great importance due to the high frequency and current incidence, is surgical resection associated with neo and/or adjuvant treatment. However, treatment with antineoplastic have potential for inducing mutagenic effects in normal cells. New chemotherapy drugs are available in order to reduce toxicity. Antineoplastic, ideally…

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is ranked as the second leading cause of death in the world, behind the diseases that affect the circulatory system. In Brazil, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer, colorectal cancer is the third most common in men and the second in women. Carcinogenesis is dependent on a sort of factor. It is described in three stages: initiation, promoti…
The most widely used therapy in colorectal cancer - which has great importance due to its high frequency and incidence - is the surgical resection added to adjuvant therapy. However, antineoplastic treatments have the potential to induce mutagenic effects in normal cells. Ideally, antineoplastics would lead to complete tumor remission and at the same time, provide protection to normal cel…
Realistic models for colorectal cancer are necessary for study of cancer biology and assessment of therapeutic interventions. An animal model of colorectal cancer should ideally meet the biological characteristics and behaviors similar to human tumors, especially tumor location. Currently, the most accurate representation of orthotropic model of human colon cancer is through cecal inocula…
