Biography

Medical Geneticist (MD, MSc) with a Master’s degree in Pathology, focused on Human Genetics, from the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre (UFCSPA), and additional specialization in Prenatal and Reproductive Genetics from Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA). My academic and professional career has been dedicated to Human and Medical Genetics, with special interests in dysmorphology, congenital anomalies, cytogenomics, and rare diseases. Between 2021 and 2024, I collaborated as a volunteer researcher with the Brazilian National Rare Diseases Network (RARAS), reinforcing my commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered care. I have experience delivering lectures and educational activities for residents, physicians, and the general public. My interests include rare disease diagnosis, genomic medicine, genotype–phenotype correlations, and expanding access to Medical Genetics within public health systems.
