Personal presentation

Professor at Department of Structural and Functional Biology, Institute of Biology, State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). Graduated biologist at University of Sao Paulo (2004), Master degree in Sciences (Oncology) at Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (Sao Paulo Branch - 2006) and PhD degree in Cell and Tissue Biology at University of Sao Paulo (2011). Post-doctoral fellow at Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Thyroid Gland (University of Sao Paulo) from 2012 to 2015. Currently focused on the investigation of the impact of non-coding RNAs, mainly microRNAs and long non coding RNAs, on the modulation of key signaling pathways and its contribution in human pathologies, such as cancer and infertility, through the use of large scale platforms of gene expression, computational approaches and in vitro and in vivo functional analysis.
