Fernando Yukio Maeda

I obtained my bachelor degree in Biological Sciences at Mackenzie University in 2009, and my undergraduate research project entitled ?Trypanosoma dionisii: Study of the mechanisms of cell invasion in the context of isolated infection and co-infection with Trypanosoma cruzi and EIEC? was developed at Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP). My Masters and PhD were also obtained at UNIFESP under the mentoring of Prof. Dr. Nobuko Yoshida in 2012 and 2016, respectively. My Masters dissertation is entitled "Studies on a new strain of Trypanosoma cruzi isolated from bats with a focus on molecular aspects of infection by metacyclic trypomastigotes" and my PhD thesis is entitled "Cell invasion and oral infection by Trypanosoma cruzi strains of TcI and TcIV genetic groups isolated from patients with Chagas disease?. In parallel, I developed another project entitled ?Study of the cruzipain role, the major cysteine proteinase, in host cell invasion by metacyclic trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi.?. In March 2016, I joined the Andrews? laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow. The main subject of my project is the mechanism of plasma membrane repair in B lymphocytes. (Fonte: Currículo Lattes)
