Degree in Biological Sciences from the Centro Universitário Fundação Santo André (2003) and Ph.D in Science (emphasis in Immunology) from the Postgraduate Program in Immunology and Microbiology of the Escola Paulista de Medicina, Federal University of São Paulo - EPM/UNIFESP and Post-Doctorate in Virology, also, by the Graduate Program in Immunology and Microbiology at Escola Paulista de Medicina, Federal University of São Paulo - EPM/UNIFESP, with an internship at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). She currently works in the area of Virology, with an emphasis on studies on human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), viruses that cause chronic infections (Herpes and HIV-1) and emerging and re-emerging viruses. The main current research axes are: (i) viral tropism (emphasis on neurotropism); (ii) mechanisms of viral pathogenesis; (iii) study of viruses as modulating agents of diseases of other etiologies. Adjunct Professor at the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Parasitology at Escola Paulista de Medicina, Federal University of São Paulo (EPM/UNIFESP) where she develops her research and teaching activities in Virology.

This project aims to analyze the expression profile of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), specifically the HERV-K, HERV-FRD, HERV-W and HERV-H families, in human microglia lineage cells infected with the immunodeficiency virus. latent human type 1 (HIV-1). We also seek to investigate whether the reversal of HIV-1 latency in target cells could be related to the expression of HERVs. Vir…
The present project aims to investigate the dynamics of infection by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in human microglia latently infected and to evaluate the impact of the viral latency reversal on the phenotypic profile of this cell type, in other words, the main question is to investigate whether quiescent microglia infected with latent HIV-1 acquires a pro-inflammatory …
HIV is the causative agent of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). According to UNAIDS there are roughly 33 million of people living with HIV. Although several studies have address many aspects of HIV infections some elements pertaining to the relationship between the virus and target cells are still waiting for a better characterization. Many studies have looked at the early st…
