Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP). Campus São Paulo. Centro de Terapia Celular e Molecular (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Bachelor in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of São Paulo - UNIFESP. Developed her research project (Scientific Initiation) and Course Completion Work (TCC) at the Molecular Immunology laboratory at UNIFESP, in which was evaluated the modulation of inflammasomes by extracellular vesicles derived from tumor cells. Obtained a Master's degree in Immunology at the University of São Paulo (USP), where she studied the effect of pyroptosis in controlling Toxoplasma gondii infection in different cell types.Currently works as a Laboratory Analyst at the Institute of Immunogenética - IGEN/AFIP, performing functions of analysis and release of exams for transplantation of solid organs and bone marrow. In addition, she actively participates in the Histocompatibility Research activities developed at the Institute. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that causes Toxoplasmosis, a disease that can be fatal for immunocompromised or newborns of infected mothers. Several defense mechanisms mediated by innate immunity have already been described in resistance to the parasite, including mechanisms mediated by inflammasomes. Inflammasomes are caspase-1 activating multiprotein platforms, …
The release of vesicles in the medium has effects on several cellular processes, especially those related to intercellular communication, since these can serve as vehicles for transfer and transformation between cells. Because of this, these vesicles have also been progressively related to the detection, level of development, diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. The vesicles derived from …
