What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Medical Science Liaison role where I can serve as a scientific reference for KOLs and healthcare professionals across Brazil.

At JoVE, I’m a Science Editor and scientific point of contact for international researchers, clinicians, and guest editors. I develop scientific content, hold consultative discussions, and track stakeholder needs and interactions in CRM tools.

My PhD research at University of São Paulo (USP) and Institut Pasteur focused on innate immunity, host-pathogen response, inflammatory response, and vaccine development. I also partnered with a biotechnology startup to design, optimize, and standardize a diagnostic protocol through literature review and critical evidence appraisal.
