Graduated in Dentistry from the Federal University of Pernambuco, she participated in the Science Without Borders Program at Western Kentucky University in the United States, with CAPES as the funding agency. She completed a residency in Pediatric Dentistry with an emphasis on Special Needs Patients at the Institute of Integral Medicine Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP/PE). She was a FAPESP fellow during her Master's in Pediatric Dentistry at the Ribeirão Preto School of Dentistry (FORP/USP). She was awarded a PhD scholarship from CNPq and is currently a FAPESP PhD fellow in the same program. She was granted a full scholarship for the USP-ESALQ Scholarship Program for an MBA in Project Management, which she completed in 2024. She is currently a Visiting Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn, USA) through the BEPE-FAPESP program. Her areas of interest include Pediatric Dentistry, Cariology, Microbiology, Special Needs Patients, and Biosafety. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Dental caries is a biofilm-sugar dependent disease that destroys mineralized dental tissues. Its control should focus on a balanced diet and disorganization of the biofilm by daily brushing with dentifrices, which can be vehicles for active substances such as antimicrobials, aiming at controlling the cariogenic biofilm. However, the effect of these actives on the innermost portions of the…
The control of oral biofilm in children represents a challenge for Pediatric Dentistry. Considering that, this work aims to isolate polysaccharides from the industrial residues of mango (peel, seed kernel, and seed) and evaluate its potential as an enzyme inducer in Trichoderma harzianum, studying the effect of glucanases produced on cariogenic biofilm. This work will occur in two stages.…
Dental caries is a sugar-mediated microbial dysbiosis in which extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) play a crucial role in biofilm formation and virulence. Mutans streptococci, a member of the oral microbiome, produce water-soluble (dextran) and insoluble (mutan) glucans from dietary sugars such as sucrose. These glucans form an extracellular matrix that promotes biofilm accumulation …
