Professional with an academic background in Immunology, holding a bachelors degree in Biological Sciences, a masters and Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of São Paulo (USP), including a doctoral fellowship at the Gulbenkian Institute of Science in Portugal. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at USP with an emphasis on immunometabolism and is currently conducting a postdoctoral research project at the Hospital das Clínicas, Faculty of Medicine, USP (HCFMUSP). Her current research focuses on the production of genetically reprogrammed immune cells for the treatment of onco-hematological diseases, utilizing CAR-NK cells derived from iPSCs and CD34+ umbilical cord cells.Active in both research and entrepreneurship, she was the founder and partner of the startup Biospot, where she served as executive director and technical lead of the laboratory. She has experience in scientific research, teaching, laboratory management, and the development of genetic and immunological assays, with research funding awarded by FAPESP.Throughout her career, she has contributed to research projects in infectious disease immunology, taught immunology courses, and actively participated in technological development projects. Currently, in addition to her postdoctoral work, she is dedicated to expanding the impact of cell therapy and immunotherapy, exploring innovative clinical applications in the field of onco-hematology.

Primary cell cultures, continuous (immortalized) cell lines and tissues are extremely important for the pharmaceutical industry and biomedical research, as they are models for studying more complex physiological systems. Quality control of cell lines is essential to ensure reproducibility. Although cell lines have been used for decades, misidentifications such as line switches and cross-c…
The molecular pathways involved in activation and regulation of the immune response are important targets for studies aiming to produce vaccines and to develop new therapeutic approaches. The cells of the immune system recognize not only Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs), but also intracellular molecules named DAMPs (Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns), such as ATP, that ar…
