É com muito orgulho que anunciamos a Tese selecionada para representar o PPGBQA no Prêmio CAPES de Tese 2022, que premia Teses defendidas no ano de 2021. A Tese escolhida, “Interação entre as vias das quinureninas e da tetraidrobiopterinana hipersensibilidade à dor”, é de autoria da Dra. Ananda Christina Staats Pires e foi orientada pela Profa. Dra. Alexandra S. Latini.
Dra. Ananda Christina Staats Pires
Mini resumo: A dor crônica é uma doença sem diagnóstico e tratamentoacurados. Esta tese explorou o potencial dos metabólitos das vias das quinureninas (KYN) e da tetraidrobiopterina (BH4) como biomarcadores de dor crônica. Foram realizadas a avaliação do perfil destes metabólitos e sua correlação com as características em pacientes com dor crônica.Os dados resultantes revelam que mediadores das KYN/ BH4 foram associados com a intensidade e outras caraterísticas da dor crônica, sugerindo sua validade como biomarcadores.

A study involving several UFSC departments, the Bioinformatics Nucleus (UFSC), IFSC, the company Biome-Hub, government agencies of the State of SC, among other partners, was published in the international journal “Viruses”. The study, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Glauber Wagner (PPGBTC) had the participation of two PPGBQA professors, Dr. Guilherme Razzera and Dr. Guilherme Toledo, and the student, Tâmela Madaloz.
Hundreds of SARS-CoV-2 genomes were evaluated between 2020 and 2021, and as a result, 23 variants were found, predominantly the Gamma variant, where the P.1-likeII type showed regionalization in the western region of Santa Catarina, with protein characteristics different. The data point to a direct correlation of this variant with the increase in cases and mortality in the western region of SC during the second wave of COVID-19. The study is still in progress, where new variants will remain in constant monitoring in Santa Catarina in the period 2022 and 2023.

No dia 19 de outubro foi publicada no periódico Plos Biology a terceira atualização de uma pesquisa conduzida por uma equipe da Universidade de Stanford listando os 100 mil cientistas mais influentes do mundo. O banco de dados criado utilizando a base de dados Scopus até agosto de 2021 e avalia métricas como citações, índice H, coautorias e um indicador composto. Os pesquisadores foram ranqueados pela sua contribuição ao longo da carreira e também pela contribuição recente (2020/2021).
A UFSC tem 26 pesquisadores na nova listagem, que inclui um total de 812 pesquisadores brasileiros. O PPGBQA tem 2 pesquisadores que aparecem na lista pelas contribuições ao longo de suas carreiras, o Prof. Dr. Afonso C. D. Bainy e o Prof. Dr. Marcelo Farina. O Prof. Dr. Marcelo Farina já aparecia na listagem publicada em 2020 e foi destacado ainda como um dos pesquisadores mais influentes por suas contribuições recentes (2020/2021).
