Graduated in Biological Sciences (Brazil, 2005), Masters (Brazil, 2008) and PhD (Brazil, 2012) in Sciences, by the Postgraduate Program in Basic and Applied Immunology of the Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo (USP). Post-Doctorate from 2012 to 2015 at the Department of Biochemistry and Immunology, University of São Paulo. Visiting Researcher (2012-2013) at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) in Cambridge, UK, as a member of the Functional Genomics Team. Associate Professor of Higher Education (40h) at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) between 2015 and 2017. Researcher Fellow (2017-2023) at the Department of Genetics and Evolution at UFSCar through the Young Investigator Award (FAPESP). Cuurently, she is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Clinical Analyses, Toxicology and Food Science, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Ribeirão Preto, USP. She has a keen interest in the area of #8203;#8203;Molecular Biology, Molecular Phylogenetics, Genomics, Transcriptomics and Immunoparasitology with an emphasis on parasite / host interaction and implemented on a large scale for the search for vaccine antigens, biomarkers and possible pharmacological targets.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil is caused by protozoan parasites Leishmania infantum. It is a chronic and disseminated disease that can be potentially fatal if untreated. Interestingly, most people infected are asymptomatic, whereas approximately 15% of L. infantum infections develop clinical manifestations, which range from mild to severe forms of disease. Both host immune response…
Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease caused by more than 20 species of protozoa Leishmania, which are transmitted to humans through sandfly vectors. Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil is caused by Leishmania infantum, a serious disease that affects organs such as the spleen, bone marrow, liver and lymph nodes and can be fatal when not properly diagnosed and/or treated. Brazil is one of…

Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected disease caused by the two-host lifecycle protozoa parasite, Leishmania infantum, the parasite transmitted by sand fly bites of an infected female. VL can be lethal if untreated or treatments fail. VL is endemic in Brazil, showing a great focus on the Northeastern region, although recently it has spread across several regions of the country.…
Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (HVL) is a neglected disease caused by the two-host lifecycle protozoa parasite, Leishmania infantum. The parasite transmission occurs through sandfly bites and HVL can be lethal if untreated or treatments fail. HVL is endemic to tropical countries, showing a great focus on Northeastern Brazil, although recently it has spread across several regions of the coun…
The rational vaccine design depends on the understanding of immunological mechanisms stimulated by vaccination. The emerging field of Systems Vaccinology uses high-throughput data analysis (e.g. microarray and RNA-seq) for the identification of gene signatures that predict the immunogenicity of vaccines and consequently, the identification of potential mechanisms involved in vaccine effic…
