Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas (ICB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
I have a degree in Biological Sciences Medical Modality from the Federal University of São Paulo (1999), a Master's degree in Microbiology and Immunology from the Federal University of São Paulo (2002) and a PhD in Oncology from the University of São Paulo (2006). Experience in Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Molecular Biology. I did my postdoctoral work at the Pharmacology Department of the Federal University of São Paulo, where I developed projects in the field of oncology, studying the development of melanoma. I worked as Professor of Biochemistry and Researcher at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Santa Casa de São Paulo from 2014 to 2020, investigating the role of reactive oxygen species, uncoupling of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and tetrahydrobiopterin, a cofactor of NOS, in malignant transformation and tumor progression of melanomas and glioblastomas. I am currently at the Department of Pharmacology at the University of São Paulo as a senior researcher where we are evaluating the contribution of the enzymes that are part of the tetrahydrobiopterin cycle in the development of melanoma and glioblastoma.

The incidence of cutaneous melanoma has been increasing in recent years due to increased life expectancy and increased exposure to ultraviolet rays. Melanoma is an extremely aggressive cancer, with a high rate of metastasis and consequently high mortality. Late diagnosis, lack of tumor markers and inefficiency of available therapies are the main factors associated with high lethality. The…

Glioblastoma is the primary tumor of the central nervous system (CNS) with the highest incidence and worst prognosis. Despite advances in molecular analysis and imaging of neoplastic tissues, glioblastoma remains without a therapeutic option with the prospect of complete tumor remission. Its genetic profile is variable both between patients and between different moments of tumor progressi…
