He holds a degree in Biomedicine (2020-2023) from Universidade Santo Amaro (UNISA). He is currently a graduate student at the Instituto Butantan, specializing in Toxins of Health Interest, with a scholarship from the São Paulo State Department of Health (SES-SP). He was a Scientific Initiation scholarship holder at the Fundação Butantan (FB) and the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) at the Pharmacology Laboratory of the Instituto Butantan. He developed a research project using B-micrustoxin, FLA2 from the venom of the snake Micrurus lemniscatus, focusing on the cytoskeleton of astrocytes and U-138 glioblastomas. For his postgraduate studies, he is interested in working in the fields of Pharmacology, venoms, toxins, and molecules of animal and plant origin, aiming at the discovery of antitumor molecules or therapeutic targets.

Toxins with phospholipase A2 (FLA2) activity are found in snake venoms of the Elapidae and Viperidae families and are characterized by their neurotoxic activity, causing neuromuscular junction blockade due to their presynaptic action. Although the action of these toxins occurs at the neuromuscular junction, several studies have used central neuronal cells to characterize their mechanisms …
