Graduation in Biological Sciences from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (2009), MSc. in Biochemistry and Immunology (2012) and PhD in Immunology (2016), both obtained at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. His main areas of interest are Immunology and Virology and his research focus on a better understading on how infection with mosquito-borne viruses lead to severe disease and how could we develop treatments for such diseases.

As first cells recruited to inflammatory sites, neutrophils weaken infections, but also cause excessive tissue destruction and immunopathology. Neutrophils are known to be crucial to clear bacterial pathogens, but their contribution to host defense and response to viral diseases, e.g. arbovirus-induced encephalitis or arthritogenic disease are much less understood. Indeed, seen as seconda…
Inflammation assists in the defense against viral and bacterial infections, but needs to be tightly controlled. Indeed, an insufficient immunological response may fail to clear pathogens from the body, while overactivation or inappropriate downregulation of inflammation may lead to permanent tissue damage. Chemokines are crucial players in inflammatory reactions and are regulated by trans…
Climate change is a worldwide reality that has facilitated the emergence of mosquito-borne viral diseases. Genus Alphavirus comprise dozens of mosquito-borne viruses that can cause severe disease in humans. However, most alphaviruses are neglected in terms of research and public policies. In the context of emergence, the lack of therapies and knowledge on neglected arboviral diseases impa…
The St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) is an arbovirus of the Flavivirus genus that can be found in many countries of the Americas causing outbreaks, including Brazil. SLEV infection can lead to the development of the encephalitis of St. Louis, a disease to which there is no approved vaccine or treatment and that in severe cases can lead to severe neurological symptoms and ultimately dea…
Oropouche orthobunyavirus (OROV) is the causative agent of Oropouche Fever, a disease spread mainly in the Amazon region and Central America. Like other arboviruses, the disease evokes symptoms of fever, myalgia, body aches and headaches. OROV has affected more than half a million people in the last 50 years in Brazil. Despite this, there is no vaccine or specific treatment for the diseas…
Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV), belonging to the Flavivirus genus, of the Flaviviridae family, is an arbovirus transmitted by mosquitoes of the Culex genus. The infection can cause a severe neurological disease with a high mortality rate, characterized for meningoence. The interference response I is known to decrease viral-like replication in SLEV infection, however, the contributi…
ABSTRACT Mayaro virus (MAYV) is the causative agent of the Mayaro fever, a febrile syndrome that in severe cases may cause incapacitating arthralgia. Currently, this neglected tropical arbovirus maintains a sylvatic transmission cycle in many countries of Latin America, but evidence shows it has potential to spread to urban areas where it could become a public health crisis, since ther…
Oropouche virus (OROV) is an arbovirus present in the Amazon region and Central America. Oropouche fever has affected more than half million people in the last 50 years, causing fever, joint pain, headache and myalgia. Like other arboviruses, many cases are not diagnosed correctly and there is no specific treatment for the disease. The use of high throughput screening for drug discovery a…

Orthobunyavirus oropoucheense (OROV) is responsible for Oropouche fever, which caused numerous outbreaks and affected more than half a million people in Latin America since its discovery in Trinidad and Tobago in 1955. OROV is classified as a member of the Orthobunyavirus genus, which comprises viruses concerning One-health issues, such as Schmallenberg, Akabane and Bunyamwera orthobunyav…
Arboviruses ("arthropod-borne viruses") are a global health issue. Public health agencies and populations in tropical regions have been alarmed by the emergence of arboviruses such as Chikungunya and Zika, which were associated with epidemics and significant human suffering in recent years. Ilhéus virus (ILHV, genus Flavivirus) is a neglected arbovirus first isolated in the state of Bahia…
The adaptive immune response has evolved to recognize, eliminate, and remember pathogens. However, influenza A viruses (IAV) have co-evolved to circumvent adaptive immune recognition. Despite our best efforts, there is still an unmet need for better comprehension of how the immune response targets IAV and how IAV evades antibody (Ab) recognition on acute and extended timelines. This knowl…
