After receiving my medical degree in 1993 from Escola Paulista de Medicina da Universidade Federal de São Paulo, I completed my training in Radiology in 1997 and did a Thoracic Radiology Fellowship in 1998. During 2002–2003, I did my Ph.D. research fellowship at Johns Hopkins University, where I developed an interest in Cardiac Imaging and Research. Currently, I am an adjunct professor at Universidade Federal de São Paulo and a radiologist at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein.
