Birthplace: Brazil

Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy from the Federal University of Ceará (UFC, 2020) and Master's degree in Sciences with an emphasis on Immuno-oncology from A.C.Camargo Cancer Center (2023). During her undergraduate studies, she participated in Scientific Initiation projects in the field of Microbiology and served as a teaching assistant in the courses of Basic Hematology (2016) and Applied Immunology (2018). She is currently a PhD student in the Graduate Program in Oncology at A.C.Camargo Cancer Center, conducting research focused on the epigenetic modulation of CAR-T cells, aiming to enhance this therapeutic strategy for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

Abstract
The use of T cells with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-T) has revolutionized the treatment of hematologic malignancies. However, applying this approach to solid tumors faces technical challenges, such as the inefficient infiltration of these cells into the tumor microenvironment and the immunosuppressive environment encountered in these tumors. Molecular profiles of CAR-T cells associate…

Abstract
The immune system in cancer patients is normally compromised, as the tumor microenvironment has a drastic effect on immune cell populations, given its ability to promote alternatively activated immune cells. Such immune cells are unable to destroy cancer (initiating) cells, as they are either exhausted or polarized towards an anti-inflammatory profile. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have em…
