Graduated in Pharmacy from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP - 2023), where during her graduation she gained experience in the academic-scientific world through scientific initiation, whose title was "Characterization of the function of NEK8 kinase domain mutations found in cancer". She is currently a Master's student in the Postgraduate Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences at UNICAMP, whose project title consists of carrying out functional studies on NEK8 (a serine/threonine kinase, cell cycle regulator) of mutations found in human colon cancer under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Jorg Kobarg.

In general, Neks (NIMA-related kinases) are a family of serine/threonine/tyrosinekinases that regulate the cell cycle of eukaryotic cells. Neks consist of enzymesconsidered relevant targets in several pathologies, including cancer. From datacarried out by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) in 2020, colorectal cancer isconsidered one of the most lethal. This work will have as …
The eukaryotic cell cycle is regulated by a cascade of mechanisms that ensure its integrity,in particular, the interphase (G1, S, and G2 phases) and mitosis. Protein kinases, including NIMA-related kinases (Neks), play crucial roles in cell cycle regulation. Nek8, a member of the Nek family, is involved in centrosomal organization and primary cilium formation, with mutations linked to dis…
