From the earliest days of my medical education, I have been driven by an insatiable curiosity about the intersection between neurobiology and psychiatric disorders. My research on Ca2+/cAMP signaling has deepened my understanding of the biochemical processes that regulate neurotransmission, neuroprotection, and neurodegenerative diseases. These investigations have not only contributed to fundamental scientific knowledge but have also opened doors to novel therapeutic strategies in psychiatry—where translational science and clinical medicine converge to address pressing challenges in patient care. My academic journey began at EPM-UNIFESP (Brazil), where I earned degrees in Biomedicine (2008), MSc (2010), and PhD (2014), including a research period at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM, Spain). In 2024, I obtained my MD degree, reinforcing my commitment to integrating scientific discovery with clinical practice. My research in neuropsychopharmacology and autonomic regulation led to a groundbreaking discovery regarding the paradoxical effects of L-type Ca2+ channel blockers—an insight published in Cell Calcium and ranked #1 on ScienceDirect TOP 25 Hottest Articles (2013). This finding has since influenced 31 publications indexed in PubMed, 25 of which I authored exclusively, underscoring my dedication to advancing the field. Beyond research, I actively shape scientific discourse as Editor of the World Journal of Psychiatry and Review Editor for multiple Frontiers journals, roles that allow me to critically assess and refine psychiatric literature. My contributions to psychiatry go beyond molecular insights—they represent a commitment to bridging the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical applications. The ability to translate cellular signaling findings into potential therapeutic strategies for psychiatric disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammatory conditions fuels my passion for the field. I believe the future of psychiatry lies in transforming fundamental cellular mechanisms into effective clinical interventions—a vision that drives my dedication to advancing scientific and medical knowledge. By continuously exploring the biochemical foundations of mental health, I remain dedicated to driving innovation that enhances therapeutic strategies and improves patient outcomes in psychiatry.
