She received a National Institute of Health postdoctoral fellowship for work examining the role of mRNA binding proteins during axon guidance while in the laboratory of Gary Bassell at Emory University School of Medicine. She is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of South Carolina and a Center Affiliate of the University of South Carolina Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders Center of Excellence. Her research team focuses on understanding how appropriate connectivity within the nervous system is established during development\, with a focus on Down syndrome.

He earned his medical degree from the University of São Paulo School of Medicine in 1978 and completed his residence training in internal medicine and cardiology at the University of São Paulo School of Medicine’s Heart Institute (Incor). He trained in physiology and pharmacology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences under the mentorship of Robert Goldstein from 1984 to 1987. In 1992\, he returned to the University of São Paulo School of Medicine\, where he earned his PhD investigating the mechanisms of redox signaling in the vascular system under the supervision of Protásio da Luz. In 2001\, with da Luz\, Laurindo started the Vascular Biology Laboratory at the Heart Institute (Incor) and became its director in 2008. He investigates the mechanisms and regulatory processes underlying oxidant species production in vascular cells and tissues and their physiological implications for vessel remodeling in disease. His research group uncovered the shear stress-dependent generation of superoxide radical from the endothelium\, characterized the redox response to vascular injury\, and discovered how the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein\, disulfide isomerase\, interacts functionally and physically with oxidant-generating NADPH oxidase complexes. These findings have led to a better understanding of endoplasmic reticulum pathophysiology on NADPH oxidase function and how redox processes regulate cell migration and vascular remodeling.
