Having graduated in Biology in 2011, my academic journey has been marked by numerous accolades and a deep involvement in research initiatives. During my undergraduate studies, I participated in research projects backed by competitive scholarships, receiving distinctive awards for my contributions. In 2016, I earned my direct PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the School of Medicine, University of São Paulo (FMRP-USP), making me one of Brazil's youngest PhDs. My principal PhD endeavor culminated in two significant publications, one of which appeared in the Nature Scientific Reports journal. Additionally, my collaborative efforts led to two more published works, including a cover issue piece. I expanded my research horizons during my PhD by undertaking a short-term stay at the University Federal of Minas Gerais (UFMG, Brazil). Here, I honed skills in advanced microscopy techniques and intracellular calcium imaging. Post-PhD, I delved into postdoctoral research through the multicenter project "ZIBRA - Zika virus in Brazil" from 2017 to 2018. This study centered on understanding viral reproduction mechanisms in neuronal-like cells. My ensuing collaborations (2018-19) at the Norberto Garcia Cairasco’s Lab (FMRP-USP) — a lab esteemed for its contributions to the Epilepsy field. I focused on characterizing cell and molecular mechanisms of alternative antiepileptic drugs, such as cannabidiol. This period also involved a short academic sojourn at the Universidad del Valle, Colombia. From 2019 to 2021, I embarked on another postdoc journey at Margaret de Castro’s Lab (FMRP-USP, Brazil), this time delving into cellular and molecular mechanisms in neuroendocrine tumors. This tenure resulted in four impactful publications, two of which list me as the first author. An essential facet of this period was my immersion in bioinformatics, working on multi-omics analysis via Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and integrating exome, methylome, and transcriptome data. Presenting these findings at various congresses, I earned further distinctive awards. My commitment to community engagement remains unwavering, as evidenced by my numerous outreach activities and endeavors to make science accessible to marginalized youth. Subsequent, I affiliated with the University of Salamanca (USAL), Spain, from 2021 to mid-2023, where I contributed to cellular and molecular neurology research and participated in both national and international projects, alongside educating and mentoring the next generation of researchers. Recently (2023), I transitioned to a position as "Personal Investigador R2B" at the Fundació de Recerca Clínic Barcelona-Institut d’Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS), working within the European Commission project "MELCAYA - Novel health care strategies for melanoma in children, adolescents, and young adults." In total, my research contributions span 22 publications with 207 citations, yielding an h-index of 8. Throughout my career, I have undertaken co-supervision of multiple academic theses, participated as a reviewer for prestigious journals and funding bodies, and held positions in various scientific boards and committees. My trajectory exemplifies my commitment to pioneering, collaborative science, and I stand poised to secure funding for future cutting-edge projects that I am passionate about.
