I am an assistant professor at Universidade São Francisco (Bragança Paulista, Brazil), since 2018, leading a research group for metabolomics analysis using mass spectrometry technologies for cancer diagnosis and health-related research. My research aims at investigating new diagnostics methods for different cancers types (such as breast, cervix, and brain), using classical metabolomics (LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS) and more recent ambient imaging MS techniques. I am also part of an international collaborative project aiming at detecting COVID-19 using the new MasSpec Pen Technology. My trajectory: I am a chemist with a background in Analytical Chemistry, focused on Mass Spectrometry (MS) applied to Life Sciences. I concluded my Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry (2018), Master?s Degree (2012), and graduation (2008) at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP, Brazil), under the supervision of Prof. Marcos N. Eberlin. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease that encompass different histological types and molecular subtypes, and it is the main cancer type among women. One of the histological types, the ductal one, accounts for ~80% of the cases, and it is basically classified in luminal and non-luminal subtypes. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is usually employed as treatment in these cases, aiming the reduct…
Wilms tumors (WT) are neoplasms corresponding to 80% of pediatric renal tumors. The Children Oncology Group (COG) recommends tumor resection, adjuvant chemotherapy (CT), and radiotherapy. WT is composed of blastema, epithelium, and stroma, and the predominance of blastema classifies patients as "high risk" and is related to the tumor's QT response. However, there are two types of blastema…
The COVID-19 pandemic has become a worldwide public health crisis. Early detection and effective treatment of infected patients are the main challenges. In this context, we intend to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic capacity of amino acids and acylcarnitines present in urine, to understand the importance of these molecules and their metabolic pathways in the evolution of COVID-19. F…
