She has a degree in Biological Sciences - Bachelor's Degree, from Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (2004) and a Doctorate in Science from the Department of Microbiology (2013), with an emphasis on Virology, from the University of São Paulo (USP). She held two post-doctorates in the Department of Microbiology (2014-2019) at the University of São Paulo (USP). She is currently an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Parasitology at the Escola Paulista de Medicina da UNIFESP, where she carries out Research and Teaching activities with an emphasis on Virology. In recent years, her group contributed to relevant studies related to emerging viruses, mainly: arboviruses (Zika virus, Chikungunya virus, Mayaro virus, and Yellow Fever virus) and respiratory viruses (SARS-CoV-2). With her experience in the field of Virology, the focus of her research is on the following topics: molecular characterization of viral infections in different cellular models, cell modulation in the face of viral replication, analysis of the humoral immune response to the mentioned viruses, and in the context of co-infections and finally, evaluation of the activity of possible peptides/molecules that present antiviral activity.

Arboviruses, transmitted by arthropods, form a non-taxonomic group composed mainly of viruses with an RNA genome. These viruses significantly impact the emergence and spread of viral diseases in tropical and subtropical regions. These viruses directly affect the health of humans and other mammals and profoundly influence public health strategies and understanding of global ecology. Most i…
Arboviruses are viruses transmitted by arthropods that form a non-taxonomic group composed of RNA and DNA viruses, maintained cyclically in nature, replicating in susceptible vertebrate hosts and blood-sucking arthropods. They are responsible for emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and are a major Public Health problem with immeasurable economic and social impacts.Objectives: eva…
Baculoviridae are arthropod-specific viruses that commonly infect insect orders. During the viral life cycle, two distinct phenotypes are produced: the budded virus (BV) and, the occlusion-derived virus (ODV) for intra and across host spread, respectively. Since the 80's several countries have been using the Anticarsia gemmatalis multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AgMNPV) as a biological con…
Since the 80's many Latin American countries and the United States have been using the multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus Anticarsia gemmatalis (AgMNPV) as a biological control to the velvetbean caterpillar (A. gammatalis).In Brazil there are at least one million hectares of soybean plantation that uses this viral control with great ecological and economical benefits for the country. The AgMNP…
