Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Associate Professor of Immunology at the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences, and Letters at Ribeirão Preto at the University of São Paulo (FFCLRP-USP), in a Regimen of Full Dedication to Teaching and Research (RDIDP). I coordinate and teach "Immunology and Parasitology" and "Virology" for the Biological Sciences undergraduate course at FFCLRP-USP and run the Immunology Laboratory at FFCLRP-USP. I am an advisor in the Basic and Applied Immunology Postgraduate Program at Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP-USP) and a fellow of the Brazilian Society of Immunology (associated with the International Union of Immunological Societies). I have a degree in Biological Sciences from the Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (1988) and a master's (1994) and Ph.D. (1998) degrees obtained from the Basic and Applied Immunology Graduate Program at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP-USP) at FMRP-USP. I did two postdoctoral studies (PD) at FMRP-USP (1998-2000 and 2002 to 2005), had the opportunity to work in Professor Michael Ferguson's Lab at the University of Dundee, Scotland, and had a New Doctor Scholarship from FAPEMIG (2001). I was an Assistant Professor at the School of Nursing Ribeirão Preto-USP, where I coordinated and taught Microbiology and Immunology. Areas of interest: Immunology, highlighting Immunochemistry, Glycobiology, and Immunotherapy in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic mycosis caused by thermally dimorphic fungi from the genus Paracoccidioides, is endemic in Latin American countries and a public health problem in Brazil, which has the most cases of the disease. Different research groups have been searching for Paracoccidioides antigens to be used in diagnostic assays or prophylactic or therapeutic vaccines. In pr…
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis caused by fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis or P. lutzii. The disease is autochthonous in Latin America, and the highest number of cases occur in Brazil. The disease manifests mainly as a progressive pulmonary infection that is characterized by a chronic granulomatous inflammation and tissue fibrosis. Depending on host and fungal facto…
The genus Paracoccidioides comprises species of dimorphic fungi that cause paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic disease prevalent in Latin America. Here, we investigated whether administration of native 60-kDa heat shock protein of P. brasiliensis (nPbHsp60) or its recombinant counterpart (rPbHsp60) affected the course of experimental PCM. Mice were subcutaneously injected with nPbHsp…

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an infectious disease caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Among the deep mycoses, the PCM is the most prevalent in Latin American and represents an important public health problem in countries where there is a high incidence of the disease - Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela. Although important advances in the immunopathoge…
The detection of serum antibodies specific for antigens of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has been used as a leading indicator for the diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Moreover, the quantification of these antibodies has been used as a marker for monitoring treatment of patients suffering from PCM, there is a direct correlation between the decrease of serum antibodies specific fo…
Preliminary results of our group suggest that Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites present a fetuin-binding protein (Fet-BP) with apparent molecular mass of 80-kDa. Fet-BP was recovered in the buffer acid-eluted fraction upon affinity chromatography on immobilised fetuin column of the soluble antigen fraction from tachyzoites of the virulent RH strain that was previously depleted of lactose bind…
