As a Pharmacist with a PhD in Immunology and a Post-Doctorate in Pharmacology, I bring 26 years of experience in strategic planning, funding acquisition, and management of high-complexity research focused on drug discovery and pharmaceutical innovation. I am committed to scientific excellence and leveraging multidisciplinary knowledge to advance pharmaceutical innovation. My expertise spans Immunology, Pharmacology, and Toxicology, with deep knowledge of preclinical pharmaceutical development. I excel at analyzing complex data, making evidence-based decisions, and designing innovative solutions to critical challenges in drug research and development phases. As a Researcher at the Butantan Institute since 2004, I served as Deputy Director of the Applied Toxinology Laboratory (LETA, 2015–2019) and have been Deputy Coordinator of the Zebrafish Platform since 2015. In these roles, I led research projects and developed experimental models for immune-mediated diseases to study therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of novel compounds.
