Profile Summary

M.S. student in Pharmacology at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) specializing in Neuropharmacology. Research is focused on the central nervous system (CNS) and the mechanisms of antidepressant drugs. This background is supported by a B.S. in Biological Sciences (UFSC, 2023) and hands-on experience with animal models, all aimed at contributing to a deeper understanding of neurobiology. Core expertise involves applying biostatistics to biomedical applications, with a specific focus on: Conducting systematic reviews of preclinical data; Performing meta-analyses of animal studies; Applying machine learning (ML) and AI to pharmacology research; Data treatment, advanced statistical analysis, and interpretation of complex neuropharmacological data. Member of the CAMARADES Brazil research team, actively contributing to the development of SysPhar (Systematic reviews for Pharmacologists), a tool designed to address a major bottleneck in evidence-based pharmacology: the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. SysPhar aimes to automate key steps: Planning (SysPhar-P) using a PICO-based interface to generate protocols, search strategies and eligibility criteria; Implementation (SysPhar-I) providing templates and tools for data extraction, risk of bias (RoB) assessment and meta-analysis organization; Reporting (SysPhar-R) automatically delivering charts, estimated effect sizes and other key analytical outputs. This directly supports the CAMARADES mission of improving the quality and translational success of preclinical research by making robust review methods more accessible to pharmacologists.
