Majored in Biomedical Sciences and Master in Genetics from Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP). Their area of expertise is Bioinformatics and Genome-Wide association studies. During their master's, studied miRNAs involved in psychiatric disorders in a cohort of children and adolescents. Currently, their research focus is population genetics and the inclusion of admixed populations to improve genetic risk predictions. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Psychiatric disorders (PDs) are one of the main causes of life years lost due to disability (DALYs - Disability-Adjusted Life Years). Symptoms usually start during late childhood and adolescence, and may persist during adulthood. PDs have a complex and multifactorial inheritance with influence of genetic and environmental factors. As PDs are complex diseases, longitudinal approaches are n…
Psychiatric disorders are some of the main causes of functional impairment among complex diseases and lead to a major impact in the lives of patients and to society. Psychiatric disorders are highly heritable, and studies reveal that there is overlapping of genetic factors across different disorders. Therefore, to study psychiatric disorders in a joint way enables a better understanding o…
microRNAs (miRNAs) have a role in regulating processes that may lead to the development of psychiatric disorders. Alterations in miRNA expression could be mediated by expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). However, since eQTLs are genomic information, ancestry may influence the frequency of these variants, especially important to consider in populations that have a high degree of adm…
