João Victor Santos Pinheiro

Currently, I am a third-year Biomedical Sciences student at Anhanguera College in Osasco-SP. Throughout my academic journey, I worked as a store assistant at Lojas Renner S.A., where I developed communication, organizational, and leadership skills. Alongside my studies, I am involved in a Scientific Initiation project at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at the University of São Paulo (USP), where I observe and participate in experiments in the Vascular Pharmacology Laboratory. In addition, I volunteer with the Médicos do Mundo Network, taking part in a street laboratory project organized by this private philanthropic organization, providing care for individuals in vulnerable situations. I am particularly interested in studying the effects of senescence on vascular physiology and in identifying molecular targets to treat accelerated vascular aging. This experience has been both enriching and challenging, allowing me to apply theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom to practical laboratory situations, as well as collaborate with experienced researchers in the field. I consider myself a young scientist with a strong desire to pursue a career in this field, and I believe that my diverse skills and acquired experience provide me with great potential for a Scientific Initiation position and to actively contribute to scientific discussions in both the Brazilian and international academic environments.
