Profile Summary

Biomedical scientist and PhD researcher in Neurology with an MSc and 7+ years of experience in biomedical research, including two years of research at Yale University. My background spans clinical, translational, and preclinical research in neuroscience, neuroimmunology, and molecular biology. I support research and life-sciences projects through scientific and medical writing, literature review and evidence synthesis, clinical and biomedical data analysis in R, data visualization, and critical evaluation of scientific evidence. I have experience working with clinical, neuropsychological, neuroimaging, and experimental datasets, as well as preparing manuscripts, abstracts, research proposals, scientific presentations, and technical documentation. My current research focuses on clinical outcomes, cognition, and neuroimaging in neurological disease. I also have experience in clinical research operations and research compliance, including informed consent, ethics submissions, clinical trial documentation, and GCP-compliant research practices. I am available for project-based collaborations in clinical and biomedical research, evidence synthesis, scientific writing, data analysis, and neuroscience consulting. I work in both English and Portuguese.
