Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas (ICB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Biological Sciences from the University of São Paulo in 2020 and earned a Ph.D. in Microbiology from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences (ICB-USP) in 2023. During her scientific initiation, she was a FAPESP fellow (2018-2020) at the Laboratory of Protein Structure and Evolution at ICB, where she contributed to the characterization of a new family of toxins secreted by Salmonella through the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS), used in bacterial competitions. During her Ph.D., also as a FAPESP fellow at the same institute, she worked with cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, and utilized bioinformatics to identify new effectors secreted via T6SS from Salmonella spp. She participated in various scientific events, gaining recognition through three awarded presentations. Recently, she gained international experience working with bioinformatics at the University of Texas at Austin. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Salmonella spp. encode five type VI secretion systems (T6SS) in different pathogenicity islands. These systems translocate effector proteins into target cells, which can be either eukaryotic or prokaryotic. Hcps (hemolysin-coregulated proteins) are components of T6SS and have several functions. The main one is structural, in which hexamers of Hcps form the tube that is ejected towards the…
Salmonella Typhimurium genome encodes a type VI secretion system (T6SS) within the SPI-6 pathogenicity island important for the establishment of mouse infections. S. Typhimurium SPI-6 T6SS was shown to be important during competitions with bacteria from the intestinal microbiota, and is also activated during infections of macrophages in vitro. Hcp proteins (hemolysin coregulated protein) …
The genome of Salmonella Typhimurium encodes a type VI secretion system (T6SS) inside the Salmonella pathogenicity island (SPI-6). In Salmonella Gallinarum the T6SS is encoded from SPI-19. Genes located inside SPI-6 T6SS from S. Typhimurium are activated during late stages of infection, while SPI-19 T6SS from S. Gallinarum are activated early during the infection of macrophages. The signi…
