I am a post-doc and joined the Adam lab of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology (MCP) at Albany Medical College, in 2020 to study the endothelial response to inflammation and the implications of the IL-6/STAT3/SOCS3 pathway. I am committed to basic and translational research and have extensive knowledge and experience in molecular biology, with expertise in multifactorial disease studies and epigenetics mechanisms. I received my M.S. and Ph.D. from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in Brazil. Johns Hopkins University was where I completed my first post-doc, where I studied the epigenetic codes in stem cells, embryonic development, and imprinted genes in both human and mouse genomes. I was responsible for library generation for whole-genome methylation next-gen sequencing.
/My research focuses on better understanding the implications of changes in epigenetic mechanisms and the long-term effects of the vascular endothelium dysfunction that is a hallmark of human diseases and focuses on researching endothelial activation, leukocyte migration, and inflammation.
/To this end, I have been working with different techniques in the lab, which involve: RNA seq, bisulfite DNA sequencing, cell culture, immunofluorescence, scrna-seq. These projects involve analysis that I perform using R including the steps of reference genomes, gene annotation, expression analysis, differential expression analysis, data visualization, and interpretation.
