I received a BS in Pharmacy from the Universidade Estadual de Londrina (Uel), Brazil, and a MSc in Chemistry from the Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR), Brazil. I studied oxidative stress and cytokine profiling in autoimmune and inflammatory disorders during my doctoral studies, receiving a PhD in Health Sciences from the Universidade Estadual de Londrina in December 2017. I joined Dr Holoshitz’s lab as a postdoc in January 2018 and have been working with HLA-disease associations.
