Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas (ICB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
PhD student in Microbiology at the University of São Paulo (USP), with a research exchange period at the University of California, Davis (UCDavis), USA. Holds a Master's degree in Biological Sciences (Microbiology) from USP and a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the State University of Santa Cruz (UESC). Researches new antifungal agents, focusing on urease inhibition as a therapeutic strategy against Cryptococcus spp. Has experience in microbiology, molecular biology, microbial biochemistry, and the development of new therapeutic approaches for invasive fungal infections. Throughout her academic journey, has participated in projects on the efficacy of antifungal agents encapsulated in nanocarriers, the evaluation of natural compounds with antioxidant activity, and the safety of resveratrol in food. Beyond scientific research, has complementary training in Project Management (MBA - USP), with a focus on communication in academic projects. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Cryptococcosis is a mycosis caused by Cryptococcus spp. with high incidence in HIV/AIDS patients leading to high rates of mortality and morbidity. Current therapy is based on the combination of antifungals amphotericin B, fluconazole and 5-fluorocytosine. Although resistance to antifungals in Cryptococcus is relatively uncommon, the risk of developing tolerance or heteroresistance in pati…
Aspergillus spp. are responsible for causing opportunistic diseases in immunocompromised patients leading to high mortality rates. Among the species found dispersed worldwide in the air, Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common, being identified in 90% of the cases. Despite the effectiveness of triazole agents, the number of resistant isolates to this class of antifungals has increased in…
Cryptococcosis is a mycosis caused by Cryptococcus spp. with high incidence in HIV/AIDS patients leading to high mortality and morbidity rates. The current therapy of the severe clinical form, cryptococcal meningitis, is based on the combination of amphotericin B with fluconazole and flucytosine. However, factors such as high toxicity, unfavorable pharmacokinetics, high cost and unavailab…
