Researcher at the Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa, Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein (IEP-HIAE), with extensive experience in: Human Genetics, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), Neuroscience, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics analysis of exome and transcriptome data and gene editing (CRISPR). Professor of the stricto sensu Postgraduate Program in Health Sciences at the Faculdade Israelita de Ciências da Saúde Albert Einstein (FICSAE). Professor responsible for the discipline "Cells and Genes" of the Medical course at FICSAE. Coordinator and professor of the lato sensu postgraduate courses in Bioinformatics Applied to Medical Genomics and Frontiers of Neuroscience at HIAE. PhD in Genetics from the Biosciences Institute - USP, with a Bachelor's degree (2005) and Licentiate degree (2007) in Biological Sciences from the same institution. I have experience in the field of Human Genetics, working since 2004 on researches related to the Genetics of Autism Spectrum Disorders, as well as on the genetic counseling of families who have autistic children. Since 2019, I have also been working on projects related to Gene Therapy. During my training, particularly during interships at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and at the Institute for Stem Cell Therapy and Exploration of Monogenic Diseases (I-Stem) - France, I had the opportunity to become specialized in the cellular reprogramming technique, later transferring this technology to the Center for Human Genome and Stem Cell Research at USP and the Institute for Education and Research at Albert Einstein Hospital.

Hematopoietic stem cells with long-term engraftment potential (long-term hematopoietic stem cells - LT-HSC) are the only cells capable of reconstituting the bone marrow, generating all the blood cell lineages, therefore having the major role in a bone marrow transplant context. LT-HSCs are rare cells and, given that the success of a transplant depends on the amount of LT-HSC transplanted,…
It is common sense that finding compatible donors for bone marrow transplantation is an arduous task, although the reason for this is not very clear to the population. In fact, for genetic reasons, the chance of finding a compatible donor among siblings is 25% and among unrelated individuals, it is around 1:100,000 depending on the population. Encouraging individual registration in nation…
The effective communication of science is of extreme importance for the development of society. To achieve this, it is necessary to translate complex scientific concepts into a more universal and accessible language for everyone. In this project, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is addressed as an example of controversial technology, with various concerns hovering over its use, ran…

Autistim Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by impairments in social communication, coupled with repetitive and restricted patterns of behavior, interests or activities. ASD is a genetically heterogeneous disorder (with different genes and inheritance patterns involved in each patient) that affects about 1.5% of the population and that presents a strong deviation in sexual proportio…
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by deficits in reciprocal social interaction and communication as well as the presence of repetitive behaviors. ASD are genetically heterogeneous, which has been made difficult the development of molecular tests for diagnosis and the understanding of their etiology. On the other hand, it is interesting to note that several genes implicated…
