Phd student on Medical School of Ribeirão Preto (FMRP-USP) for the program of Basic and Applied Immunology. I carry out my project in the Laboratory of Microbial Pathogenicity and Innate Immunity, under supervision of Dr. Dario Simões Zamboni.I am going to identify Coxiella burnetii effector proteins that have modulatory roles in intracellular macrophages.Graduation in Biological Sciences by the Federal University of Viçosa, with a sandwich period in Germany through the Sciences without Borders Program (CAPES scholarship).

The innate immune system is composed of a big variety of cells equipped with Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRR), such as the cytoplasmic PRRs of the NLR family. This kind of receptor contributes to a fast host defense against intracellular pathogens by mounting and activating a protein platform known as inflammasome. This process produces many important cellular phenomena such as the act…
Coxiella burnetii is a Gram-negative bacterium and causative agent of Q fever in humans. The bacterium is highly adapted to infect alveolar macrophages and subvert their functions, including the avoidance of TLR recognition, the inhibition of apoptosis and the modulation of diverse vesicle traffic pathways. Its virulence is dependent on the translocation of bacterial proteins (called effe…
