Edwin Roger Parra Cuentas

Graduated in Medicine at the University Mayor of San Andrés (UMSA, 1997), Pathology Training at the Clinics Hospital of University of São Paulo Medical School (HC-FMUSP, 2002), Doctorate in Sciences at the University of São Paulo Medical School (FMUSP, 2006), Postdoctoral in Pulmonary Fibrosis at the same University (FMUSP, 2008), Young Researcher Scientist supported by the Foundation for the Support of Research of the State of São Paulo (FAPESP, FMUSP 2008 - 2013), Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Texas, M.D. Cancer Center, Department of Translational Molecular Pathology (UTMDACC-TMP 2013-2017) and Research Scientist in the same Department. I am a highly capable, enthusiastic and experienced Pathologist with extensive experience in pathology, experimental animal models of lung cancer and pulmonary fibrosis, immunohistochemistry (IHC), multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF), western blot (WB), DNA, RNA extraction (PCR) and digital pathology analysis. I have over 10 years of experience in research and teaching to technicians, graduate students, doctors and postdoctoral fellows. I also have extensive experience in performing standard laboratory techniques for molecular biology such DNA and RNA extraction, cell culture, manual and automated IHC and mIF staining and experimental animal models. I am author and co-author of more than 100 paper in lung cancer, interstitial lung diseases from human and animal models, and immunofrofiling using different image analysis-based assessment; several abstracts and presentations at national and international scientific meetings, three book chapters and many other reports on pulmonary pathology and medicine topics. I am highly training to develop and optimize immunoprofiling panels by immunohistochemistry and multiplex immunofluorescence, for immune markers to develop prognostic immune profiling for Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and other types of cancer. Finally, I have experience and expertise in histomorphometry and digital analysis using different scanning system as Aperio AT2, Aperio IF, MultiOmixTM, Mantra and Vectra® and using different image analysis software?s as Image Pro-plus, Aperio Tool Box, GENIE, InForm, HALLO, Tissue Studio and Image Mainer.
