About me

  • Rhaissa works with primary immunodeficiencies understanding how immune cells are impaired in different immune backgrounds and immune cells.
    Rhaissa is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in the Microbiology Tumor and Cell Biology department (Stockholm, Sweden). She
    completed her MSc (2016) and PhD (2020) studies in Immunology and Cellular Biology (Fiocruz – Brazil) studying different aspects of the immune system such as the regulation of functional response of macrophages and CD4 T cells in opportunistic infections, pathogen/ host interaction, inflammation, and endocrine-immune regulation. Nowadays in the Postdoc, Rhaissa works with primary immunodeficiencies understanding how immune cells are impaired in different primary immune deficiencies and cell types also by establishing /in vitro /models to be used in drug screening applications.
