Associate Professor at the Department of Pathology, Division of Clinical Pathology, School of Medical Sciences, UNICAMP. She is also a Visiting Professor at the Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), the Netherlands. She is a medical doctor, graduated from the School of Medical Sciences of UNICAMP, where she completed the Residency in Haematology and Haemotherapy and both the Masters and PhD in Clinical Medicine. Fernanda also holds a PhD in Clinical Epidemiology from the LUMC. Throughout her research career, Fernanda has been active in the study of biomarkers and clinical aspects of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic diseases. She has been awarded various training, travel and reach the world grants from the American Society of Hematology and the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis. Fernanda has also received research grants from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the Brazilian National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) to develop studies in the field of antiphospholipid syndrome and thrombosis. Fernanda is the Brazilian representative in the Latin American Cooperative Group of Hemostasis and Thrombosis (CLAHT). Her research focuses on the interaction between coagulation and inflammation/immunity in venous thrombosis and severe thrombotic diseases. Fernanda is currently working on: 1) the importance of cardiovascular risk factors as a secondary stimulus for the occurrence of thrombosis in antiphosphlipid syndrome; 2) the impairment of innate immunity and neutrophils in venous thrombosis and primary antiphosphlipid syndrome; 3) the impairment of regulatory T lymphocytes in primary antiphosphlipid syndrome; 4) the effects of hydroxycloroquine in modulating haemostasis; 5) the importance of tissue factor activity and cell microparticles in different thrombotic presentations of antiphosphlipid syndrome.

Approximately 14% of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have severe disease and 6% develop critical symptoms. The lethality of COVID-19 is around 4%. Severe symptoms manifest after approximately 7 to 8 days from the beginning of the disease, and progression to the critical form occurs on average after the 11th day of symptoms. The pathogenesis of COVID-19 is related to the …
Thromboembolic disorders represent a major culprit for morbidity-mortality in Brazil and the World. The Hemocentro at Unicamp has a scientifically recognized research group, with over 100 highly cited publications in this field. We have revealed the roles of FVIII, VWF and of ADAMTS13 in Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) and severe Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS); the association between hyperc…

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a major acquired cause of thrombosis and gestational loss. To date, definitive anticoagulant therapy is the only recommended treatment for thrombotic complications of APS. Despite anticoagulation, the recurrence rate is high, and the prevention of microvascular diseases, which lead to target organ deterioration, insufficient. However, complementary treat…

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Approximately 80% of patients with COVID-19 have mild to moderate symptoms, 13.8% have severe disease (dyspnea, tachypnea, and hypoxia) and 6.1% develop critical symptoms (respiratory failure, septic shock or multiple organ dysfunction). The l…
SUMMARYIntroduction: The imune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a autoimmune disorder that is characterized by the isolated low count of platelets without a alternative diagnosis. If the pacient doesn't responds or resists to the glucocorticoid treatment is necessary to perform a splenectomy. This procedure has good outcomes and a long lasting effect in its majority, however, it can lead to thro…
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by persistent production of antiphospholipid autoantibodies (aPL), which are anticardiolipin (aCL), anti-²2glycoprotein-1 (a²2GP1) or lupus anticoagulant (LA), responsible for generating a prothrombotic state through the activation of endothelial cells, monocytes, and platelets. This pro-thrombotic state brings vascula…
Infection by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In advanced stages, the host's inflammatory immune response becomes dysregulated, resulting in the so-called "cytokine storm" and leading to the activation of coagulation mechanisms. As a result, the phenomenon of immunothrombosis is installed. Coagulation changes c…

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is characterized by numbness, swelling, and pain of the extremities that occurs after brief periods of walking or exercise. Approximately 2% of patients afflicted with PAD will experience worsening symptoms and develop Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI), characterized by its intense claudication and high risk for amputation and cardiovascular complications. Withi…
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune thromboinflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent arterial or venous thrombosis as well as pregnancy loss combined with the persistence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Although these antibodies have been suggested to activate endothelial cells, monocytes, and platelets, and to disrupt coagulation and fibrinolytic pathways, aPL a…
Venous thrombosis is a potentially lethal disease that occurs in about 1-2/1000 people yearly and recurs in about 20-25% of patients within 5-10 years. New insights are linking thrombosis with inflammation, a concept called immunothrombosis. Recent work has shown that inflammatory response leads to increased levels of coagulation, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Currently, i…
