Currently is the Principal Investigator responsible for a FAPESP Young Investigator Grant (Process no. 2023/07741-8; 05/01/2024 - 04/30/2029) at the School of Dentistry of Araraquara at the Sao Paulo State University (FOAr/UNESP). Has completed postdoctoral trainings at FOAr/UNESP (August/2019-April/2024), at Harvard Medical School (Boston, United States; April/2022-April/2023) and at the University of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, United States; April/2018 -June/2019). Received a PhD in Physiology from the Postgraduate Program in Physiology at the University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP/USP; 2013-2018). During his PhD, received a scholarship to perform research studies at the University of Bristol (Bristol, England; July/2016-June/2017). He has a specialization in the Multiprofessional Integrated Residency program in Elderly Health from the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro (2013) and a degree in Physical Education from the University of Uberaba (2009). He has experience in the areas of Neuroscience and Physiology, with an emphasis on Autonomic Nervous System and Physiology of the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems. He is interested in studying the mechanisms and neural circuits involved in cardiorespiratory control in physiological and pathological conditions. Furthermore, is interested in understanding how the nervous system and the immune system can interact in a bidirectional way. Main study techniques: In vivo electrophysiology, manipulation of specific neuronal populations, differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSC) into neurons, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), calcium imaging, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization fluorescent (RNAscope).
