Graduated in Biological Sciences (Brazil, 2005), Masters (Brazil, 2008) and PhD (Brazil, 2012) in Sciences, by the Postgraduate Program in Basic and Applied Immunology of the Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo. Post-Doctorate from 2012 to 2015 at the Department of Biochemistry and Immunology, University of São Paulo. Visiting Researcher (2012-2013) at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) in Cambridge, UK, as a member of the Functional Genomics Team. Associate Professor of Higher Education (40h) at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) between 2015 and 2017. Currently, is a Researcher Associate at Department of Genetics and Evolution at UFSCar through the Young Investigator Award (FAPESP) since 2017. She has a keen interest in the area of #8203;#8203;Molecular Biology, Molecular Phylogenetics, Genomics, Transcriptomics and Immunoparasitology with an emphasis on parasite / host interaction and implemented on a large scale for the search for vaccine antigens and possible pharmacological targets. Mother of two daughters born in 2014 and 2019. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil is caused by protozoan parasites Leishmania infantum. It is a chronic and disseminated disease that can be potentially fatal if untreated. Interestingly, most people infected are asymptomatic, whereas approximately 15% of L. infantum infections develop clinical manifestations, which range from mild to severe forms of disease. Both host immune response…
Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease caused by more than 20 species of protozoa Leishmania, which are transmitted to humans through sandfly vectors. Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil is caused by Leishmania infantum, a serious disease that affects organs such as the spleen, bone marrow, liver and lymph nodes and can be fatal when not properly diagnosed and/or treated. Brazil is one of…
Leishmaniasis is a group of neglected anthropozoonotic diseases that can be caused by over 20 species of protozoa from genus Leishmania. Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), focus of this project, is a serious form of the disease that can be fatal if untreated or misdiagnosed. Brazil is an endemic country for VL, where the most cases occur in the Brazilian Northeast. However, recently VL has spre…
Leishmaniasis is a group of zoonotic diseases caused by a large variety of protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Leishmania. It is considered a neglected disease, its transmission enabled by the activity of infected female sandfly vectors through their bite. Leishmaniasis can be manifested in different forms with visceral leishmaniasis (VL), caused in Brazil by the L. infantum, being…

Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected disease caused by the two-host lifecycle protozoa parasite, Leishmania infantum, the parasite transmitted by sand fly bites of an infected female. VL can be lethal if untreated or treatments fail. VL is endemic in Brazil, showing a great focus on the Northeastern region, although recently it has spread across several regions of the country.…
Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (HVL) is a neglected disease caused by the two-host lifecycle protozoa parasite, Leishmania infantum. The parasite transmission occurs through sandfly bites and HVL can be lethal if untreated or treatments fail. HVL is endemic to tropical countries, showing a great focus on Northeastern Brazil, although recently it has spread across several regions of the coun…
The rational vaccine design depends on the understanding of immunological mechanisms stimulated by vaccination. The emerging field of Systems Vaccinology uses high-throughput data analysis (e.g. microarray and RNA-seq) for the identification of gene signatures that predict the immunogenicity of vaccines and consequently, the identification of potential mechanisms involved in vaccine effic…
