Memorial para Promoção de Professor Titular na Carreira do Magistério Superior

Abstract

In this Memorial, I present the most relevant aspects of my life trajectory and of my academic, professional, and institutional career, from my initial training to my current role as a faculty member at the School of Medicine of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). My trajectory has been progressively built through the integration of Pediatrics, Immunology, Allergy, and Inborn Errors of Immunity, articulating specialized care, teaching, research, human resource training, university management, and participation in scientific societies. I particularly highlight the structuring of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology at the UFU Clinical Hospital, including the creation of specialized outpatient clinics and the Medical Residency Program in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, as well as the incorporation of this unit into care pathways for rare diseases and newborn screening. In the field of research, I describe the consolidation of lines of investigation focused especially on food allergy and inborn errors of immunity, with scientific production resulting from projects developed in collaboration with undergraduate students, residents, graduate students, and national and international networks. I also report my activities in academic management, medical education through active learning methodologies, supervision of master’s and doctoral students, and leadership in scientific societies, especially the Brazilian Association of Allergy and Immunology and the Latin American Society for Immunodeficiencies. This Memorial thus summarizes a trajectory built at UFU and from UFU, guided by a commitment to public university education, the training of qualified professionals, the production of relevant knowledge, and the improvement of care for patients.
