Birthplace: Brazil

I started to attend the Laboratory of Immunopharmacology at Federal University of Minas Gerais as an undergraduate student in 2011. Since then, I contributed to several projects regarding the study of arboviruses in the context of host inflammatory response.In 2016 I obtained a Bachelor degree in Biological Sciences at Federal University of Minas Gerais and started my Masters degree in Biochemistry and Immunology at the same university. In 2017, I obtained my Msc. degree in Biochemistry and Immunology and started my Phd in Genetics and Molecular Biology at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) at the Brazilian Biosciences National Laboratory (LNBio). During this period, I obtained experience in the fields of Immunopharmacology and Microbiology focusing on Virology (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Abstract
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…
