His current research focuses the investigation of the cellular/molecular mechanisms involved in the neuronal painful sensitization, using pre-clinical models. Behavior methods, along with pharmacological tools and interventions to analyze the role of specific genes in nociceptor function are used in his studies to demonstrate the neuronal processes involved in acute and chronic pain. At this moment, his projects investigate the molecular and cellular signaling pathways that participate in the development and/or maintenance of nociceptor sensitization and in the transition from acute to chronic pain. In parallel, the role of sexual dimorphism in the development of pain induced by chronic use of opioids has also been part of his studies. He believes that his experience with different animal behavior models allows him to better understand the neurophysiology of pain, which might contribute for the development of more specific pharmacological therapies.
Luiz Fernando Ferrari got his D.D.S. degree from the School of Dentistry in the University of Sao Paulo in 1996. He worked in his own office, in Brazil, performing general dentistry, oral surgery and temporomandibular joint dysfunction/orofacial pain treatment. However, to learn and understand more about pain physiology and pharmacology he went to the Medical School in the University of Sao Paulo at Ribeirao Preto. There, at the Department of Pharmacology, he got his Master’s and Ph.D. in Pharmacology/Neuroscience, researching the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the generation and maintenance of pain, and therapeutic strategies for treatment. He also worked as a Professor of Pharmacology & Therapeutics and Neurophysiology of Pain in the School of Dentistry in University of Sao Paulo at Ribeirao Preto, and was part of the team of Professors in the Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction and Orofacial Pain Specialization Course for several years, teaching and supervising students of the School of Dentistry in the clinic. Currently, he is working in the University of California at San Francisco, as a Research Pharmacologist, investigating the mechanisms involved in the transition from acute to chronic pain, as well as the neural basis of the chronic pain induced by inflammation, stress and as side effect of therapeutic drugs.

His research is focused on cerebral malaria, one of the main health problems facing developing countries today. At present, preventative and treatment strategies are continuously hampered by the issues of the ever-emerging parasite resistance to newly introduced drugs, considerable costs and logistical problems. The main hope for changing this situation would be the development of effective malaria vaccines. An important part of this process understands the mechanisms of naturally acquired immunity to malaria. My focus is to understand the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum-host interactions and signaling mechanisms involved in the development of protective immunity to malaria and in malaria pathogenesis. Here asking how cytokine administration or inhibition of MAPK signaling protects cerebral malaria by controlling parasitaemia, pro-inflammatory responses, decreasing the infiltration of lymphocytes to the brain and modulating innate and adaptive immune responses, in order to develop next generation of therapeutic agents to eradicate malaria.

pharmacology
Dr. Bergantin received his academic education at EPM-UNIFESP (Brazil) and UAM (Spain): biomedicine (2008), MSc (2010) and PhD (2014). His research work solved the enigma of the paradoxical effects produced by L-type Ca2+ channel blockers (ScienceDirect TOP 25 Hottest Articles - Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology - Cell Calcium). Since 1975, several clinical and experimental studies have reported that acute and chronic administration of L-type Ca2+ channel blockers (CCB), such as nifedipine, produces reduction in arterial pressure associated with a paradoxical increase of sympathetic activity. In 2013, Dr. Bergantin and collaborators discovered that this paradoxical increase in sympathetic activity produced by Ltype CCB is due to interaction of the Ca2+/cAMP signaling pathways. Then, the pharmacological manipulation of this interaction could be a new therapeutic strategy for increasing neurotransmission in psychiatric disorders, and producing neuroprotection in the neurodegenerative diseases (Bergantin and Caricati-Neto, 2016 Eur J Pharmacol; Caricati- Neto et al., 2015 Pharm Res Perspect). In addition, the pharmacological handling of the Ca2+/cAMP signaling interaction could be a more efficient therapeutic approach to inhibit cancer tumor progression (Errante PR et al., 2017 Adv Cancer Prev). Dr. Bergantin has published several articles in international journals (>40), book chapters and an international book. He is member of several editorial boards of international journals (>60, including editorin- chief of 3 international journals). Dr. Bergantin has been frequently invited (every week) to be honorable guest (speaker) in international conferences, and to participating in media interviews.
