Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Instituto de Biologia (IB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Biological Sciences (Bachelor's and Licentiate's degrees) from Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie. At the University of São Paulo, he obtained his Master's and Doctorate degrees in the area of #8203;#8203;Biology of the Host-Pathogen Relationship. He completed his first postdoctoral internship at the Centre de Recherche en Infectiologie of Université Laval, Quebec, Canada and the second in the Department of Parasitology of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of the University of São Paulo. Currently, he is Professor at the Department of Animal Biology of the Institute of Biology of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and Coordinator of the Postgraduate Program in Animal Biology also at UNICAMP. He has experience in the area of #8203;#8203;Molecular Parasitology with emphasis on the study of the parasite of the genus Leishmania, involving aspects of the chemotherapy of leishmaniasis and the molecular mechanisms associated with resistance to the drugs used in the treatment of this parasitic disease.

Leishmaniases, a group of neglected and endemic diseases in almost 100 countries, are caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania and transmitted by infected sandflies. The main clinical forms are visceral leishmaniasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis, caused mainly by Leishmania infantum, and L. braziliensis and L. amazonensis in Brazil. The treatment of leishmaniasis is restricted…
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease with wide geographic distribution in Brazil with an increased number of cases in urban areas in recent years. The current state of treatment of different clinical forms of Leishmaniasis is one of the critical areas in the management of this disease, since the drugs used require parenteral use, are costly and induce side effects. The available drugs use…
Leishmaniases are neglected tropical diseases that affect around 20,000 people per yearin Brazil. Tegumentary leishmaniasis is mainly caused by Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis,L. (V.) guyanensis and L. (Leishmania) amazonensis. Parasites of the species L. (L.)amazonensis are etiological agents of two clinical forms of leishmaniasis: localized cutaneousand diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis…
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease considered neglected by the World Health Organization. In Brazil, around 20,000 cases of the disease are reported annually, mainly caused by Leishmania braziliensis and L. amazonensis. The drugs available for the treatment of this disease are limited, relatively toxic and the treatment failures have been reported, which may be associated with factors s…
Leishmaniasis is a group of parasitic diseases caused by several species of the genus Leishmania, whose transmission occurs through the blood meal of sandfly vectors infected by the parasite. Among the endemic species in Brazil, Leishmania amazonensis is the most prevalent, and it is responsible for localized cutaneous and diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis. Treatment options for cutaneous l…
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease endemic in almost 100 countries, caused by the parasitic protozoa Leishmania and transmitted by infected sandfly vectors. There are two main forms of the disease, visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, which are associated with distinct species of the parasite. Treatment for leishmaniasis in Brazil is limited to the use of three drugs mainly: p…
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease considered neglected by the World Health Organization and that has presented in recent years an increasing number of cases in Brazil, especially in urban regions. The cutaneous form of the disease is caused in Brazil mainly by Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis and L. (Viannia) braziliensis, while the visceral form is caused by L. (L.) infantum. The c…
