Luiz Felipe Souza e Silva, also known as Silva L.F.S, is a highly qualified and skilled professional. He graduated in Pharmacy from Faculdades Metropolitanas Unidas (FMU) in 2013, subsequently obtaining a Master's degree in Health Sciences from the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Santa Casa de São Paulo, with a project carried out between 2016 and 2018. He recently completed his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of São Paulo's Institute of Biomedical Sciences (USP/ICB), with a project conducted between 2019 and 2022.During his academic journey, Luiz Felipe specialized in mitochondrial analyses and studies, as well as in mental disorders. His extensive experience in scientific research includes participation in several projects and publication of articles in internationally renowned scientific journals. With this academic and scientific background, Luiz Felipe Souza e Silva is prepared to work in various areas related to Pharmacy and Health Sciences.Currently, Dr. Luiz Felipe Souza e Silva is involved in a post-doctoral research project at the renowned Laboratory of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (LIM60) at the University of São Paulo's Faculty of Medicine (INCOR - HCFMUSP). In this project, he is conducting a comprehensive study on the evaluation of mitochondrial function of cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCMs) of patients diagnosed with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy.

About 30% of Chagas disease patients develop chronic Chagas disease cardiomyopathy (CCC), an inflammatory cardiomyopathy that occurs decades after the initial infection, while most infected patients (60%) remain asymptomatic in the so-called indeterminate form (IF). Myocardial fibrosis, inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction are involved in the arrhythmia substrate and triggering even…
Among all hypotheses related to Schizophrenia (SZ), we can highlight the neurodevelopment theory. According to it, environmental factors, such as hypoxia, could cause alterations and abnormalities in cellular machinery, including modifications in neural proliferation, migration and differentiation, in addition to changes in synapsis formation, which could lead to degenerative processes. H…
The goal of this project is to investigate the role of sirtuins (SIRTs), specifically sirtuin 1, nuclear, and 3, mitochondrial, in mitochondrial dysfunction due to hypoxia in different animal and cellular models of Schizophrenia (SHZ): astrocytes exposed to CoCl2 and from spontaneous hypertensive rats, SHR. The significant value of this project is the fact that it is known that one of the…
