Awards and Recognitions
This section aims to highlight the awards, grants, and recognitions received by the LICBFP team in recognition of their significant contributions to research in the immunology and biochemistry of fungi and protozoa.


In 2012, we were awarded for the poster: “Targeting the P10 peptide to maturing dendritic cells via DEC-205 receptor in vivo: A new vaccine strategy against PCM”. SS Santos, E. Ranpazo, KS Ferreira, CP Taborda, SB Boscardin and SR Almeida, presented at the 18th Congress of the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM);
In 2014 we received an Honorable Mention for best poster at the XII International Meeting on PCM and Other Mycosis, with the poster: Absence of TLR3 promotes reduction of fungal burden in PCM;
In 2015 we received the award for best work in the Pathogen-Host area at the 28th Brazilian Congress of Microbiology with the poster presentation: TLR
In 2016, we were awarded the best doctoral work at the II International Symposium on Pathophysiology and Toxicology at the VII Postgraduate Symposium in Clinical Analysis, with the oral presentation of the work: TLR3 activation as an escape mechanism for Pb;
In 2022, we received an award at the Symposium commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Postgraduate Program in Pharmacy-Physiopathology and Toxicology at FCF/USP for the presentation of the work funded by FAPESP: Study of activation and modulation of the immune response against sporotrichosis experimentally, from extracellular vesicles purified from dendritic cells. Presented by master's student Jennifer Lacerda.
