I graduated in Biomedical Sciences from the University of São Paulo in 2023. Over the course of two years, I engaged in scientific initiation projects at the Laboratory of Physiological Genomics of Mental Health, with scholarships from FAPESP and NIH. My primary work focused on exploring the biological connection between Attention Deficit Disorder and pain phenotypes such as migraines and chronic pain. During this period, I presented my findings at conferences in the field, including the PRODAH Outpatient Meeting in RS in 2021 and the Brazilian Genetics Congress in 2023. Additionally, I published an article as the first author. Currently, I am a candidate for Direct Doctorate at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Department of Physiology and Biophysics.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are strongly correlated both at the epidemiological, clinical, and biological levels. ADHD exhibits one of the highest heritabilities in psychiatry, meaning that the innate biological component behind the disorder is extremely relevant to its manifestation. Conversely, MDD is a disorder with moderate herit…
The good performances of polygenic risk scores (PRS) have been demonstrated for some physiological variables, such as arterial pressure. In regards to mental disorders, several studies have also replicated the effects of PRSs for schizophrenia, major depressive disorder (MJD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), among others, in many target samples. However, most discover…
