Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da USP (HCMRP). Hemocentro de Ribeirão Preto (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Bachelors degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Alfenas - MG. Masters and PhD in Basic and Applied Immunology at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo (FMRP - USP). During my graduate studies (2018 - 2025), I investigated the contribution of keratinocytes and fibroblasts to the pathological inflammation-fibrosis axis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Still during my PhD, funded by a grant from FAPESP, I developed in collaboration with the Radboud University Medical Center - Radboudumc (Nijmegen, the Netherlands), a 3D in vitro skin model to analyze the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in (myo)fibroblast activation and contraction driven by monocytes/macrophages. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher changes associated with the trained immunity response of SSc patients' fibroblasts. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease marked by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, immune dysregulation and vasculopathy. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) has been investigated as treatment for patients with severe and progressive SSc. Although patients show great clinical and histopathological improvement of cutaneous fibrosis after transplant…
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease marked by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, immune dysregulation, and vasculopathy. The skin fibrosis in SSc results from the activation of the resident fibroblasts by immune cells. SSc fibroblasts synthesize, in an aberrant manner, many extracellular matrix molecules (ECM), contributing to skin thickening and stiffening. Thus, we …
