Extracellular Vesicles from Basic Research to Clinical Applications

Associate Professor at Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP), Brazil. Background in immunology and molecular parasitology and immunology, with specific training and expertise in host-parasite interaction and characterization of extracellular vesicles isolate from protozoa parasite. Research includes the characterization of the cellular and immunology that control the interaction and modulation of protozoa. As PI on several university and grants from Brazilian Government (CNPq and FAPESP) and international grants. My group have a collaboration with John Hopkins, USA; McGill University, Montreal, Canada; IS Global Institute, Barcelona, Spain; Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel. I establish some basic principles of Trypanosoma cruzi (protozoa parasite cause of the Chagas Disease) interaction with host cells. I’m coordinator of the Parasitology and Clinical Immunology of the Pharmacy School at UNIFESP. I’m Associate Editor; International Journal of Tropical Diseases, Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal of Immunology Research and Journal of Extracellular Vesicles.
