Pedro has achieved his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences, focusing on Genetics, from São Paulo State University (Unesp), where he was granted a PIBIC scholarship for the study of the proteomic profile of snake venoms of the Bothrops genus. He is currently undergoing a Master's course in Sleep in the Department of Psychobiology of the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), under Dr. Sergio Tufik and Dr. Mariana Moysés Oliveira, with the support of Associação Fundo de Incentivo à Pesquisa (AFIP) and the Sleep Institute, modelling genetic variants associated with neurodevelopmental diseases (NDDs) and sleep disturbances in human induced pluripotent stem-cells (hiPSCs) and induced neurons (iNs).

Sleep disturbances in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders are highly frequent, affecting up to 86% of patients. There is an overlap between the genetic factors that increase risk for both NDDs and sleep disturbances, indicating a common molecular root for this comorbidity. The GRIN2A gene encodes a subunit of NMDA receptors, glutamate- and voltage-dependent ion channels in gluta…
