I am a visiting scientist from Brazil, working at Institut Pasteur as part of my PhD graduation. My PhD is embedded within the Graduate Program in Sciences (Microbiology), at the Institute of Microbiology Paulo de Góes, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Biomedicine Science (2014/2), specializing in Clinical Analysis and Molecular Biology and Master’s degree (2017/1) by the Graduate Program in Cellular and Molecular Biology, both at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. I develop activities related to evaluation of pathogen-host interaction, specializing in extracellular vesicles secreted by fungal pathogens and its interaction with macrophages. Within the G5 of Immunology of Fungal Infections, I emphasize my research towards understanding the role of fungal particles in triggering innate immune memory/trained immunity.
