Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas (ICB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Biomedical Sciences in the Federal University of São Paulo (2004) and Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology, Federal University of São Paulo (2009). Did a post-doctoral training at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France. He is currently assistant professor at the Department of Parasitology, University of São Paulo. Has experience in immunology with emphasis on vaccine development, in molecular genetics of Plasmodium oriented for generation of recombinant parasites, and in the field of cell biology of Plasmodium, focused on host cell invasion and transmission.

Malaria drug discovery and vaccine development is traditionally focused on studies using asexual blood stages maintained in laboratory cultures. The biology of the sexual stages (gametocytes and gametes) is very different from that of the asexual stages, and few drugs currently in use to treat Malaria are capable of killing the gametocytes, preventing parasite transmission from humans to …
Hemoparasites are parasites that multiply inside the bloodstream. Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria in mammals, and Babesia, the causative agent of babesiosis, are hemoparasites belonging to the phylum apicomplexa that invade and multiply inside erythrocytes. These parasites are a huge problem for human and animal health. Plasmodium is the most important human parasite with an es…
Through advances in genomics, proteomics and transcriptomics, currently studies analyzing these tools in search of new targets for potential drugs and vaccines are increasingly present in academia. Important targets to be sought are proteins involved in the life cycle of the protozoan Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, for potential vaccine formulations, such as for the vaccine s…
Malaria is a parasitic disease that has afflicted humankind for centuries, and even today it causes thousands of deaths annually, especially in underdeveloped countries - with an economically fragile population and limited access to health services. Although treatable, the continued emergence of strains of Plasmodium resistant to available antimalarials is of concern. It is also equally a…
Plasmodium vivax is the most common parasite species that causes human Malaria outside Africa. This species is also the most endemic in Asia, Central and South America and Oceania. Although Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the majority of deaths, P. vivax can lead to severe Malaria, resulting in a significant morbidity and mortality. The development of a protective vaccine will ce…

Malaria is a preventable, diagnosable and treatable disease. Yet, it causes thousands of deaths every year, and millions of people are still endangered. The vast majority of Malaria cases worldwide are due to infection with Plasmodium vivax or P. falciparum. There is an urgent need to eliminate Malaria, since drug resistance is reappearing. There is general agreement that elimination is n…

Babesia bovis is a bovine parasite of the phylum Apicomplexa and is endemic in almost all the Brazilian territory. Bovine babesiosis outbreaks have an important impact on the agricultural economy, so the control of this disease is critical. B. bovis is an obligate intracellular parasite, and has erythrocytes as host cells where they multiply. However, recent studies have shown that blood …

Malaria is a preventable, diagnosable, and treatable disease. Nevertheless, it causes thousands of deaths every year, and millions of people are still endangered. There is an urgent need to eliminate malaria since drug resistance is reappearing. There is general agreement that elimination is not simply a matter of intensifying the use of available tools. New strategies, like transmission-…
