About Me

I am a PhD candidate in the Graduate Program in Biochemistry at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP-USP), an excellence program accredited by CAPES that has trained human resources for basic and applied research for over 50 years.

My research focuses on multiomics and cell biology, with particular emphasis on macrophage phenotyping, extracellular vesicle biogenesis, and protein biomarker analysis. I employ advanced techniques such as mass spectrometry and molecular assays to investigate immunological mechanisms.

I am funded by The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), the research funding foundation of the State of São Paulo, and I am part of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) research community, contributing to scientific advances relevant to biochemistry and health.
