Holds a Bachelor's degree in Biomedicine from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP). During his undergraduate studies, he dedicated two years to scientific initiation in the field of Molecular Biology, where he developed a gene therapy project in a mouse model of Peripheral Arterial Disease, funded by FAPESP (Process 2016/09547-0). Currently, he is a PhD student in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), with a research scholarship from FAPESP (process 2019/01587-1). In his PhD project, he investigates the mechanisms of aging control and stress response by miRNAs and proteins that participate in their pathway, in C. elegans. He completed a one-year international research internship (FAPESP, process 2021/13222-8) at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, complementing his doctoral research.

Population aging is a major economic and healthcare challenge in the 21st century, with a projected 1.6 billion people over the age of 65 by 2050. In Brazil, 40% of the population is expected to be elderly in the coming decades. In this context, it is crucial to develop public policies and promote research focused on the health and quality of life of the elderly. Aging results from the ac…
Population aging represents an important social problem in the 21st century and mobilizes the attention of public agencies for the elaboration of interventions aiming to preserve vitality and increase healthspan. miRNAs and the proteins involved in their biogenesis and function, such as the argonaute ALG-1, are important elements controlling healthspan. In a previous study, our group obse…
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is caused by narrowing or obstruction of the arterial blood vessels. One of the main manifestations of PAD is critical limb ischemia (CLI), which is usually caused by atherosclerosis. Macrophages act in the repair of ischemic and damaged tissues or to maintain homeostasis, stimulating the formation of new vessels. Macrophages may have phenotype M1 (pro-in…
Population aging represents a relevant public health issue, justifying the pursue of interventions aiming to promote health in the elderly. In the aging process, cells tend to lose the ability to properly respond to endogenous and exogenous stressors, and one relevant stress related to aging is oxidative stress. High levels of pro-oxidant molecules associated with decreased antioxidant ca…
