Research
My lab focuses on bioinformatics, epigenetics, and inflammation's effect on endothelial health.
I started my career at UFRGS/Brazil and explored multifactorial disease molecular bases.
As a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University, I researched epigenetics, especially gene imprinting and DNA methylation. During a second postdoctoral fellowship at Albany Medical College, I studied IL-6 signaling's impact on endothelial DNA and SOCS3's protective role.
I currently lead the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology's bioinformatics core, specializing in multiomics data analysis derived from molecular techniques. My research aims to establish a comprehensive understanding of how epigenetic modifications directly influence endothelial dysfunction.
