Birthplace: Brazil

Licentiate and Bachelor of Science in Biological at UMC (2002). Specialist in Protozoology in Public Health at HC-FM/USP (2004). Master (2005) and Doctor (2010) in Biological Applications of Nuclear Technology at IPEN/USP. Sandwich Doctorate at University of Zurich, Switzerland (2009). Postdoctoral fellow at CCD-SES/SP (2018). Scientific and Technological Research Assistant at Instituto Adolfo Lutz (2009-12). Scientific Researcher VI at Instituto Adolfo Lutz (2012-current). Technical Director of the IAL Systemic Parasitosis Nucleus. I work with the development of drugs for the treatment of neglected parasitic diseases. I am an advisor and professor of the Post Graduate Program in Sciences at CCD/SES-SP. I have experience in the areas of human parasitic protozoology, molecular biology and pharmacology, with an emphasis on drug delivery systems and pharmacokinetics. I work mainly on the following topics: pre-clinical evaluation of natural and synthetic compounds and drugs against protozoa that cause Leishmaniasis and Chagas disease. Work with in vitro assays for drug screening, determination of their efficacy, cytotoxicity and mechanism of action; in vivo assays to determine the effective dose, route of administration and pharmacokinetic profile; use of the drug delivery system to improve drug efficacy, and molecular biology (gene expression, qPCR and sequencing) for parasite identification and quantification. I coordinate and participate in research projects funded by CNPq and FAPESP. I participate in national and international projects and partnerships with Unifesp and UFABC (Brazil).
