Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus de São José do Rio Preto. Instituto de Biociências, Letras e Ciências Exatas (IBILCE) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Has a degree in Biological Sciences, both in Teaching and Bachelor, from São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (2005/2006). Completed their Master's (2008) and Ph.D. (2012) in Genetics, studying the genetic variability and evolution of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). During the Ph.D., worked as a visiting researcher at Saint Louis University - St. Louis - MO - USA. As a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Genomic Studies Laboratory of UNESP - IBILCE, participated in various projects, with a primary focus on the study of arboviruses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, was involved in conducting molecular diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2 and research projects related to this virus, including genomic surveillance in the Corona-ômica Network (BR/MCTI). Served as the junior vice-president of the Brazilian Society of Virology (2021-2022). Currently, as a Research Associate at the Nussenzweig Laboratory at Rockefeller University (NY-USA), is working on projects investigating various aspects of the HIV reservoir. Areas of expertise: arboviruses, viral genetic variability, HIV reservoir. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Hepatitis C is a disease spread throughout the world. Hepatitis C virus (HCV), the etiological agent of this disease, is a single-stranded positive RNA virus. Its genome encodes a single precursor protein that yields ten proteins after processing. NS5A, one of the non-structural viral proteins, is most associated with interferon-based therapy response, the approved treatment for hepatitis…
The arboviruses are distributed worldwide, especially in subtropical and tropical countries like Brazil presenting a great impact in public health. These regions have favorable conditions for arthropod vectors facilitating their persistence and spread. The arbovirus, important human pathogens, are mainly found in three genera Alphavirus, Flavivirus, Orthobunyavirus, some responsible for m…
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a single-strand positive RNA virus member of the Flaviviridae family. The infection leads to liver inflammation in general, asymptomatic, but when the infection becomes chronicle, it may cause problems like liver cirrhosis, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is believed that about 150 million people in the world suffer from this disease. The treatmen…
Hepatitis C is a worldwide health problem with an estimated incidence of the infection by HCV of 2.2%, corresponding to 130 million people in the world. It is estimated that more than 75% of the infected persons develop chronic infection that could lead to cirrhosis and in some cases hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HCC is the third major cause of death by cancer in adults. At first it…
