Technician in Environmental Control from Estácio de Sá University (2014 - 2015), Graduated in Biomedicine with qualification in Clinical Pathology from Universidade Paulista (2017 - 2020) . He carried out a voluntary Scientific Initiation in partnership with the University of Ribeirão Preto (UNAERP) at the Phytochemistry Laboratory and at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto (USP) at the Immunochemistry and Glycobiology Laboratory. Researched the antifungal activity of the plant Harpagophytum procumbens against different pathogenic fungi of medical relevance (Candida spp., Cryptococcus spp., Paracoccidioides spp.,) and its toxicity against the Galleria mellonella model. PhD candidate in Sciences with emphasis in Molecular Biology at Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), he is currently developing three-dimensional lung and brain cultures to study the pathogenesis of Cryptococcus spp., in addition to working with the antifungal activity of peptides derived from Galleria mellonella. Has experience in the area of #8203;#8203;Mycology, Microbiology, Alternative Models (Galleria mellonella, Danio rerio, Tenebrio mollitor, C. elegans and cell culture) working mainly on the following topics: cryptococcosis, cell culture in monolayer, three-dimensional and natural products.

Cryptococcus neoformans is a yeast of medical relevance, especially in immunocompromised patients, such as those affected by AIDS. This fungus can cause serious and sometimes drug-resistant systemic infections, being responsible for more than 180,000 deaths worldwide every year. Infection occurs predominantly through inhalation of fungal propagules, leading to a pulmonary infection that c…
Cryptococcosis is a serious, cosmopolitan and opportunistic fungal infectious disease of public health importance that affects both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. The main etiological agents are Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gatti, which have their ecological niches in pigeon excreta and decaying matter from trees, making their dissemination constant. In ord…
