Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Odontologia de Ribeirão Preto (FORP) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
She earned a degree in Dentistry from the Federal University of Bahia (1997), and a master's and PhD in Dentistry (Oral Diagnosis) from the University of São Paulo (2001 and 2005, respectively). She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School University of São Paulo (20062008), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Norma Tiraboschi Foss, during which she studied the relationship between chronic oral infections and the progression of leprosy, with an emphasis on reactional episodes. She completed a second postdoctoral fellowship at Brigham and Womens Hospital Harvard Medical School (20122013), under the supervision of Prof. Drs. Nathaniel Simon Treister and George Francis Murphy, focusing on the immunopathological aspects of chronic graft-versus-host disease of the oral cavity. She joined the faculty in 2014 and is currently an Associate Professor at FORP-USP. She is a faculty member in the graduate programs in Periodontology at FORP-USP and in Oral Diagnosis, Oral Radiology and Imaging at FO-USP. She served as Vice Head of the Department of Stomatology, Public Health and Forensic Dentistry (20202022), and is currently (20232026) Vice-Coordinator of the Research Ethics Committee at FORP-USP. Her research interests in the field of Stomatology include: the pathophysiology of infectious diseases, the study of oral manifestations of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, primary and secondary prevention strategies for oral cancer, and dental management of patients with systemic diseases.

Despite advances in AIDS control after the advent of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), immune activation persists and is associated with disease progression caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. HIV-1 infection has been associated with periodontitis, and it is known that periodontitis influences the systemic state and may be responsible for the continuous immune sti…
Oral cancer is undoubtedly one of the major public health problems in Brazil, and despite advances in prevention and diagnosis procedures, little improvement in epidemiological indicators has been detected over time. Thus the discussion of public policies with risk factor elimination/reduction strategies and case tracking seems to be promising, and will be addressed at this event, with em…
The revolution of ART made HIV-1 infection a chronic controllable disease, reduced HIV-1 mortality rate, and dramatically increased life expectancy of HIV-1-infected patients. In this scenario, periodontitis assumes an important role in the HIV-1 infection status for activating systemic inflammation favoring viral replication and influencing HIV-1 status, and also acting as a possible res…
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting women with a frequency of 0.1 to 4% in a general population. The development of clinical protocols for the diagnosis of OLP has been suggested in order to standardize and use in small and big groups for developing multicentric studies. This study aims to determine the clinical, histopathological and immunopathological pr…
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that affects the oral mucosa, with a higher prevalence in middle-aged women. It is characterized by bilateral reticular-pattern lesions and may be associated with other forms, such as papules, plaques, erosions, or ulcers. Its diagnosis is based on the correlation between clinical and histopath…
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic, immune-mediated mucocutaneous inflammatory disease of undefined etiology, which predominantly affects middle-aged women and whose worldwide prevalence is established at 1% to 2%. The characteristic clinical manifestation consists of white streaks, with certain symmetry, bilateral, associated or not with ulcerative, erythematous, plaque or bullous les…
Oral Cancer is a major public health problem in Brazil, and little improvement in epidemiological indicators has been detected over time. In Ribeirão Preto, part of the oral cancer prevention and early diagnosis campaign involves the action of dentists in the annual flu vaccination campaign. The association of the two campaigns allows the extremely important interaction between dentists a…
