I have completed a Degree in Biological Sciences (2010-2014) and Masters degree in Gynecologic and Breast Oncology (2015-2016), both at State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. My Masters degree was in Obstetrics and Gynecology predicting platinum resistance in high-grade serous ovarian cancer. I am currently completing a PhD at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia in The Molecular Oncology Group, within the School of Women's and Children's Health and based at the Lowy Cancer Research Centre. I am identifying rare variants for susceptibility to non-high grade serous ovarian cancer. My project utilizes samples from two large international consortia investigating genetic susceptibility to ovarian cancer and clinically relevant biomarkers. My PhD is supervised by the world-leading ovarian cancer researcher, Professor Susan Ramus. Besides, I am a member of the Australia and New Zealand Gynecological Oncology Group (ANZGOG) and Translational Cancer Research Network (TCRN). My interests are in the areas of biomedicine, with an emphasis in translational ovarian cancer research.
