I have been involved in breast cancer research for 20 years. Initially, I worked at Medical School of the University of São Paulo, Discipline of Radiology and Oncology, Laboratory of Molecular Genetics under the supervision of Dr. Maria Aparecida Nagai from March 1999 to June 2017. The Dr. Nagai' s group aims to combine omics data integration and functional studies for the identification of pathways and biomarkers that may become useful molecular descriptors for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of breast cancer. In this context, I had the opportunity to participate in the “The Human Cancer Genome Project Sequencing Consortium” supported by FAPESP/LICR and gained expertise in molecular genetics and sequencing techniques (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2003 Nov 11;100(23):13418-23). The group also focuses on the study of the functional role of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in the process of morphogenesis of the mammary gland in 3D culture and the chemosensitivity of breast cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents . During the first 2 years (1999 – 2001) in Dr. Nagai´s lab, I concluded a latu sensu graduate program in Oncogenes and Tumor Suppressor Genes, developing the project entitled “Analysis of TP53 gene alterations in primary prostate carcinomas” and worked on the “The Human Cancer Genome Project Sequencing Consortium”. Next, I entered the graduate program obtaining my master´s degree (2001-2004) in Biotechnology, with the project “Effect of 17ß-estradiol on HNRPK, PAWR, RBBP4, ATRX and TLN1 expression in MCF-7 breast cancer cell line” and the doctorate degree (2005-2009), in the same area, with the PhD thesis entitled “Study to evaluate the crosstalk between estrogens and growth factors pathways on the transcriptional regulation of HNRPK, PAWR and PHLDA1”. In 2010, I was hired as Laboratory Specialist of the Molecular Genetics Laboratory maintaining my important participation in the scientific production of Dr. Nagai´s group. During this time as Laboratory Specialist, I actively participated in the training and support for 2 Latu Sensu students, 5 master students, 3 doctorate students and 1 postdoc researcher. Additionally, I acted as monitor in practical classes of the bachelor and graduate disciplines under the responsibility of Dr. Maria Aparecida Nagai. In 2017, I moved to Portugal with my family and started my activities as a PostDoc research fellow in Cell Growth and Differentiation Group (IBMC / i3S) under the mentorship of R. Freitas and working on the role of HOX genes in breast cancer. In summary, I paticipated in 8 projetcs writing/management and students’ support, published 11 papers, 4 as first author, and acquired an extensive experience and autonomy in cellular and molecular biology techniques(qPCR, western blot, transfection assays), cell culture (in 2D and 3D), functional and, more recently, animals studies (Felasa funcitons A and D). Moreover, my scientific production was also disseminated by the 32 poster presentations and 6 talks that I made. Now, we have a review article under revision to publication in BBA reviews on Cancer and an original article under preparation. It is noteworthy, that my PhD degree was recognized by Universidade do Porto under the registration number 220190010186
