Holds a Bachelor's degree in Languages with a specialization in Portuguese and Linguistics from the Faculty of Philosophy, Languages, and Human Sciences at the University of São Paulo (USP). Completed an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences at São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP) in 2021 and is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Biological Sciences-Genetics through the graduate program at the same institution. Conducted a Scientific Initiation project, funded by FAPESP, focused on the Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase component (TERT) of Leishmania spp., acquiring experience in the expression and purification of recombinant proteins within a heterologous expression system, as well as in biophysical interaction assays, including circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy. Currently, the direct doctoral research involves the functional and structural characterization of the PinX1 ortholog protein in Leishmania spp., also funded by FAPESP. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Leishmaniasis is a set of diseases that show different outcomes and can be expressed in different clinical forms such as cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral (kala-azar). The disease is transmited by the bite of a female sandfly contaminated by protozoa of the Leishmania genus. The available treatments present low efficacy, high toxicity, and high cost leading to parasite resistance, wh…
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that presents different clinical forms and affects de poorest populations in Africa, Asia and Latin America, especially Brazil. It is caused by a protozoan parasite belonging to the genus Leishmania, which is transmitted by the bite of a sandfly. Finding therapeutic targets for the development of new drugs is indispensable, once the anti-paras…
