Cellular and Molecular Immunologist, with focus on basic immunology, host-pathogens interactions, NOD-Like receptors and strong background in molecular biology.
I’m honored to be featured in a Yale News article discussing our work showing that autoantibodies from #LongCOVID patients can induce neurological phenotypes in mice, providing evidence for a causal role in disease.

Excited to share our study in Cell!
Using passive transfer experiments, we found that autoantibodies from Long COVID patients can induce neurological and pain-related phenotypes in mice, supporting a causal role in disease.

Excited to share our study by @keylas3 et al. on pathological autoantibodies in people with Long COVID. We asked whether IgG in patients with Long COVID bind to human tissues/antigens and cause pathologies when transferred into mice. With @PutrinoLabdoi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2026.…
Excited to have this amazing new #longcovid work out in the world thanks to an always amazing team and with continued gratitude for our collaboration with @VirusesImmunity 👯♀️
Please check out Akiko’s comprehensive tweetorial on the preprint, and I’ll add just a few comments. 1/
Essa pergunta embora pareça simples e fácil de responder ao aluno com um conjunto de “dedique-se, passe nas matérias, aprenda inglês, faça IC”; não é simples assim. Há inúmeras pedras no caminho que podem facilmente impedir o sucesso de pessoas capazes.

Muito legal a reportagem do Andre Julião (Agência FAPESP) sobre nosso artigo recentemente publicado na Nature Commun. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…. O artigo demonstra que parasitos do gênero Leishmania subvertem as funções de Gasdermina-D para evitar a morte dos macrófagos.
When we and others including PJ Utz's group saw autoantibodies skyrocket with SARS-CoV-2 infection, it raised alarm bells for exactly this possibility. It will be important to see what the hazard ratios look like post vax/prior infection. "Unfortunate legacy" indeed.
Beyond autoimmunity as a mechanism for #LongCovid, the heightened risk of autoimmune diseases
"Compelling and reliable evidence that #SARSCoV2 infection is linked to a substantially increased risk of developing diverse new-onset autoimmune diseases..."

Our study showing that Omicron subvariants are even more capable than other VOCs in suppressing MHC I expression to evade CD8 T cell immunity is just published. Congratulations to @MiyuMoriyama@carolilucas @ValterVSM @NathanGrubaugh & team 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 (1/)

“Imagine the fear… everyone says you should be better by now. Instead, every day, you wake up feeling like death: a sign that you’re in uncharted territory. How could you still—4 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months after you first got sick—feel this bad?” #LongCovidyalealumnimagazine.org/artic…
