Graduated in Biomedicine at Universidade Federal do Pará (2008), Master's degree in Neurosciences and Cellular Biology at Universidade Federal do Pará (2010) and PhD at Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP). Currently, works as a postdoctoral researcher (FAPESP Fellow) at the Laboratory of Glycobiology and Molecular Biology of Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), under the supervision of Professor Helena Bonciani Nader. Has experience in cell biology and molecular biology, biochemistry and pharmacology, with emphasis on lysosomal biology and on cellular mechanisms related to the pathophysiology of lysosomal diseases, such as Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) and Alzheimer's disease.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is an autossomic recessive disease caused by lysosomal alfa-L-iduronidase deficiency, leading to accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), mainly heparin and dermatan sulfate, in several organs and tissues. In addition to deposit, structural modifications in accumulated GAG chains can also affect the signalization of different molecules including grow…
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a hereditary disease caused by a deficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA), leading to an impaired glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degradation. When not degraded, GAG accumulates in various tissues and organs, leading to a chronic, progressive and multisystem disease. The cellular mechanisms responsible for the disease etiology, however, are still not fully …
Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIC (MPS IIIC) is a rare lysosomal disease caused by deficiency of lysosomal enzyme acetyl-CoA:±-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase (HGSNAT) involved in catabolism of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) heparan sulfate (HS). Non-degraded HS accumulate in lysosomes in the cells of multiple organs and tissues, causing a progressive and multisystemic pathology. Neurodegeneratio…
