Undergraduate at Biological Sciences from Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (1988), master and Ph.D. at Basic and Applied Immunology from Universidade de São Paulo. Has experience in Immunology, focusing on immunochemistry, glycobiology and immuntherapy in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection. He holds a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the State University of São Paulo Júlio de Mesquita Filho (1988), a Master's and Doctorate in Sciences (1994 and 1998, respectively), obtained from the Graduate Program in Basic and Applied Immunology of the University of São Paulo. He received a recent PhD from FAPEMIG and did two Post-Doctorates at the University of São Paulo. In the last Post-Doctorate he had the opportunity to work in the Laboratory of Professor Michael Ferguson, University of Dundee, Scotland. He served as PhD Professor at the Ribeirão Preto School of Nursing - USP, where he coordinated and taught the disciplines of Microbiology and Immunology. He is currently PhD Professor of the Department of Biology of the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Ribeirão Preto - USP, where he coordinates and teaches the discipline of Immunology and Parasitology. Member of the Commission of the Graduate Program in Basic and Applied Immunology of the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto - USP, he has experience in immunology, with emphasis on Immunochemistry, glycobiology and immunotherapy in paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection.

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic mycosis caused by thermally dimorphic fungi from the genus Paracoccidioides, is endemic in Latin American countries and a public health problem in Brazil, which has the most cases of the disease. Different research groups have been searching for Paracoccidioides antigens to be used in diagnostic assays or prophylactic or therapeutic vaccines. In pr…
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis caused by fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis or P. lutzii. The disease is autochthonous in Latin America, and the highest number of cases occur in Brazil. The disease manifests mainly as a progressive pulmonary infection that is characterized by a chronic granulomatous inflammation and tissue fibrosis. Depending on host and fungal facto…
The genus Paracoccidioides comprises species of dimorphic fungi that cause paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic disease prevalent in Latin America. Here, we investigated whether administration of native 60-kDa heat shock protein of P. brasiliensis (nPbHsp60) or its recombinant counterpart (rPbHsp60) affected the course of experimental PCM. Mice were subcutaneously injected with nPbHsp…
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a dimorphic fungus that causes paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), an endemic mycosis in Latin America. PCM is a chronic, granulomatous, and progressive disease, which has a wide clinical spectrum of manifestations. Although it is known that the main clinical forms are consequences of fungus-host interaction, immune response in PCM is still an open field. The an…

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an infectious disease caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Among the deep mycoses, the PCM is the most prevalent in Latin American and represents an important public health problem in countries where there is a high incidence of the disease - Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela. Although important advances in the immunopathoge…
The detection of serum antibodies specific for antigens of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has been used as a leading indicator for the diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Moreover, the quantification of these antibodies has been used as a marker for monitoring treatment of patients suffering from PCM, there is a direct correlation between the decrease of serum antibodies specific fo…
Preliminary results of our group suggest that Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites present a fetuin-binding protein (Fet-BP) with apparent molecular mass of 80-kDa. Fet-BP was recovered in the buffer acid-eluted fraction upon affinity chromatography on immobilised fetuin column of the soluble antigen fraction from tachyzoites of the virulent RH strain that was previously depleted of lactose bind…
