He is an Adjunct Professor with a degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal Fluminense University (2004), a master's degree in Neuroimmunology from the Federal Fluminense University (2006), and a doctorate in Sciences (Biophysics) from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (2010). He is a permanent faculty member of the Postgraduate Program in Medicine: Pathological Anatomy (UFRJ). He also works as a collaborating professor in the Postgraduate Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology (UNIRIO). He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Federal Fluminense University (2011-2012) studying the role of microglial cells in the development of central connections. He also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore – USA (2012-2015) studying long-term alterations induced by ethanol in astroglial cells. He completed his postdoctoral studies at the D'Or Institute for Research and Education (2015-2018), studying inflammatory aspects of human astrocytes obtained from iPS cells in an experimental model of schizophrenia. He was a Visiting Professor in the Postgraduate Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (2018-2020). Currently, he coordinates the Laboratory of Neuroimmunology and Development (LaNiD), where studies on reactive astrogliosis and cellular senescence are conducted in models of fetal alcohol syndrome, schizophrenia, and aging. He has been a Young Scientist of Our State fellow of FAPERJ since 2022.
