My expertise in both clinical and research realms of dermatology are in procedural dermatology, infectious diseases, and autoimmune/inflammatory diseases. Before joining Brown University, I was a faculty member of the University of Sao Paulo as attending, University of Ribeirao Preto as Assistant Professor, State University of Ponta Grossa as Associate Professor, and Yale School of Medicine as a Postdoctoral Associate. I have authored over 60 peer-reviewed publications. The main focus of my studies is to advance dermatology therapy and to improve the safety of current dermatologic interventions and safety.
