I am a Professor at the Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas de Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo (FCFRP/USP), Department of Clinical Analyses, Toxicology and Food Science, under the Full-Time Dedication to Teaching and Research regime (RDIDP). I lead the Laboratório de Imunopatogênese Viral (LIPV/FCFRP-USP). I hold a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo (FMRP/USP, 2017), an MSc in Infectious Diseases from the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES, 2012), and a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy and Biochemistry from UFES (2009). I completed postdoctoral training funded by CNPq (2018–2021) and FAPESP (2022–2023) fellowships, investigating SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis through in vivo and in vitro models. My research focuses on viral immunopathogenesis, innate immune signaling, and host-virus interactions in respiratory and emerging viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2 and monkeypox virus (MPXV). I have authored 56 peer-reviewed articles (H-index 18 and over 2,000 citations, Web of Science) and regularly serve as a reviewer and guest editor for international journals.
